Les Paul Thru the Lens

“Les Paul: Thru the Lens” explores the life of pioneering musician and innovator Les Paul. Through a series of 24 photographs, visitors will see a chronicle of Paul’s life, career, and achievements: his early performances as Red Hot Red, his marriage to and work with Mary Ford, his explorations in the recording studio and with the electric guitar, and of course his long and influential performing career.

Collectively, the images provide an intimate view into the life of an icon of the music and sound products industry and remind us that, through it all, music—and the industry—are inseparable from the people who make it.

This traveling exhibition is courtesy of The Les Paul Foundation.

There will be a special musical tribute concert, “The Les Paul Experience”  presented in conjunction with the exhibition on May 12 at 8PM in Pollak Theatre.
