Scheduled Performances by Lester and the UP Guitar Orchestra

We're back after a holiday hiatus with a list of Lester's upcoming performances in the coming weeks:

1. On the 16th of February, he will be at My Brother's Mustache, Sct Tuazon cor. Sct Madrinan, Timog, Tomas Morato Quezon City.

Here are some details of the concert, titled BACH to GERSHWIN:

Repertoire:

2. Introduction and Fandango - L. Boccherrini
3. Concerto in D Major - F. Gragnani
4. Songs of Ararat - L. Chobanian
5. An American in Paris - G. Gershwin

The U.P. Guitar orchestra brings together the artistic excellence of the U.P. College of Music Guitar students. As part of their musical training, the students -- freshmen to sophomores -- are required to play in the orchestra for four years.

The orchestra is an off-shoot of the U.P. Guitar Ensemble founded and directed by Lester Demetillo. Only on its sixth year, the orchestra's library has grown extensively. From Renaissance, Baroque, Classical and modern pieces, the different styles give each guitarist equal parts of technical difficulty and musical challenge.

The guitar orchestra has performed in and around the U.P. community, the Concert at the Park series, Cultural Center of the Philippines and the PCI Bank concert series.


This concert will be the first out-of-town concert for the group.
