Angeli: Welcome
The Epic True Story
.........of triumph over tragedy. Click on Video recollections (left) for links to video references from witnesses across the decades.... from the President to a Pop Star. . Get a taste of "The Angeli Symphony" (soundtrack) by clicking on ANGELI FILM MUSIC, (left) The Conductor says: "What Stuart has achieved with the "Angeli" compositions would be like me writing a book on brain surgery, without knowledge of the brain!" Non- musician Stuart went to the ends of the earth to record his music and only one of the world's greatest orchestras could do it justice...and almost thirty years on...The Philharmonia Orchestra (of London) record his astonishing Angeli Symphony.

A True Story
Stuart Sharp, a one time homeless, penniless non-musician had a vision of becoming a world class composer and meeting Presidents and Pop Stars. Such foresights also drew him to Africa where he imagined a great concert. He saw himself organising and composing the music for the giant event in the jungle. He dreamed of great orchestras recording the music whirring around in his head. These were compelling images and he saw them all as a programme that would one day be produced and shown around the world. The catalyst to propel him on this impossible odyssey was the tragic death of his son in 1975. Making the decision to set out on the adventure was a desperate one. Following the divorce he lost everything and for a time, in the late 70's, lived rough in Shepherds Bush,UK.
Eventually he moved into a hostel for the homeless and later became its night manager. In the following decades he rose from the ashes and The Philharmonia Orchestra of London's ovation following their recording of his Angeli Symphony was a singular moment in time. He eventually travelled to the dark continent, and against all odds organised and composed the music for one of Africa's most successful concerts.. just as his dream foretold. See his concert live below.
