ENCINITAS, CA Sept. 5, 2014 – Guitarists of all skill levels are invited to participate in the Encinitas Guitar Orchestra’s upcoming session, “A Christmas, Renaissance and Baroque Orchestra.”

The orchestra, comprised of local musicians from beginner through advanced levels who learn technique and theory under the supervision of Peter Pupping and William Wilson, is divided into four to eight sections with multiple players on each part. Music consists of holiday and other pieces by Bach, Telemann, Praetorius, and others.

The orchestra’s 25 to 30 amateur guitarists will spend the fall practicing that will culminate in a performance Friday, Dec. 5. The public is invited to attend.

Rehearsals are Mondays from 7 to 9 p.m. at Ranch View Baptist Church, 415 Rancho Santa Fe Rd., in Encinitas, beginning Monday, Sept 22.

Pupping has been teaching and performing in Southern California for more than 30 years. His band, the Peter Pupping Band, has released several CDs. The latest, entitled Café Pacifico, combines a variety of music including Nuevo Flamenco, Cuban, West African, Nuevo Tango, Bossa Nova, Samba and Latin Smooth Jazz. 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.
