CONCERT ATTENDEES MUST BE VACCINATED & MASKS MUST BE WORN INDOORS. In 1996, after fifteen years of performing as a solo guitarist, Peter Pupping scheduled a performance at a local coffee shop with then long-time guitar student William Wilson. Peter and William joined forces for this “one time event” and planned an evening of classical, Spanish, and flamenco guitar. Adding a bass player and Latin percussion for this special event produced an overwhelming response. Peter decided to permanently form a quartet that specialized in Latin music but also had a broad range of expertise in many styles. Since then, the quartet has performed throughout Southern California, the Midwest, and Hawaii. The band consists of Peter Pupping and William Wilson on guitars, Jeff Basile (aka Jeff Pekarek) on upright bass, and Roy Gonzales on percussion. Due to an injury, William Wilson will not be performing at this concert. Trumpet player Sidd Basile (Jeff Basile’s son) will join the quartet, adding an interesting new sound to the well-established group. The quartet is very versatile and has an eclectic repertoire spanning centuries of classic art music, world music, jazz, and pop styles. San Diego native Kenneth Bender has been a classical guitar teacher and performer for eighteen years. He has performed solo, and in small and large groups. He has studied with many virtuoso guitarists including Christopher Parkening, during his time at Pepperdine. He will open the concert with some thrilling Spanish guitar pieces.
