Guitar Orchestra Session in Encinitas Now Forming

Sept. 10, 2012 - PRLog -- Guitarists of all skill levels are invited to participate in the Encinitas Guitar Orchestra’s upcoming session, “A Christmas String Dance.” The orchestra’s 25 to 30 amateur guitarists will spend the fall practicing holiday themed music that will culminate in a performance Friday, Dec. 7. The public is invited to attend.

The Encinitas Guitar Orchestra is comprised of local musicians from beginner through advanced levels who learn technique and theory under the supervision of Peter Pupping and William Wilson, two accomplished Encinitas-based musicians and teachers. Pupping has organized and conducted a guitar orchestra since 1999.

This session’s music is sure to please those who love classical music, guitar music or holiday songs. Pieces include Noel, Spanish Carol, Lo How Ere Rose is Blooming, Oh Tanenbaum, English Dance, Mistle Toads and Bell Fantasy, a variation of Carol of the Bells, among others.

Rehearsals are Mondays from 7 to 9 p.m. at Ranch View Baptist Church, 415 Rancho Santa Fe Rd., in Encinitas, beginning Monday, Sept. 17, 2012. Participating in the session costs $300.

Pupping has been teaching and performing in Southern California for more than 30 years. His band, the Peter Pupping Band, released a new CD entitled Café Pacifico earlier this year. Pupping earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in music from San Diego State University. He organizes and directs the Encinitas Guitar Orchestra twice each year.
