Classical guitarist David Tanenbaum and steel-string guitarist Peppino D’Agostino decided to form a larger guitar ensemble that could perform a wide variety of repertoire. In 2010 they gathered together members of the guitar faculty from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music with some of its most exceptional alumni and combined nylon strings with steel, electric basses with 17th century theorbos and formed the Pacific Guitar Ensemble.
The Pacific Guitar Ensemble music is rich, complex, intimate and romantic with a repertoire that features original music written by the group’s own steel-string stylist Peppino D’Agostino, as well as arrangements of great composers from Bach to Brahms.
Guitarists like nothing better than to get together to play for and with each other, learning and copying, sharing and competing. The Pacific Guitar Ensemble features accomplished guitarists David Tanenbaum, Peppino D’Agostino, Marc Teicholz, Lawrence Ferrara, Michael Bautista, Jon Mendle, Paul Psarras, Antoniy Kakamakov - all dedicated to keeping this dynamic process alive.
Teja Gerken, Senior Editor of Acoustic Guitar Magazine (Feb. 2013), listed Pacific Guitar Ensemble's first CD “Begin” as one of his top ten “Essential Acoustic Albums of 2012.” |
