    Exclamation Hector Olivera, WOW

    I know you guys are probably laughing at me about how slow i am but Hector Olivera (www.hectorolivera.com) is an AMAZING organist!! Internationally Acclaimed!! OFG He can play so many styles like a sinch!! I'm listening to his samples on the website and i love "Joyful, Joyful" and "Fugue Alla Gigue"!! They're so amazing!! And he uses diffrent tones, so that each entrance is distingushable! Not to mention his wonderful regestration!! OMG and to makes thing better, he's coming to my area on Oct 10!!!!!! OMFG I'm sooo going! ;D You gotta see his YouTube vid, too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_mFg42LlUI I want to be like him!! D:!! I'm gonna work to the limit to grow up and be like him, seriosuly. But i'm not a comdian as a second talent, I'm more of an artist/cartoonist and studio animator/colorist :P Don't forget the poor cello too xD

    Oh, and on the vid, check out 2:34 !!! I can't stop laughing!!! OMFG he's amazing O.o;

    He's a remarkable talent -and so versatile. I can't believe I haven't come across him before. I loved his Bach Prelude in C which is one of my favourites. Thanks Silver!

    Woooha, fantastic stuff. The video production was impressive - at the start I was expecting him to appear carrying an M16 with a commando knife between his teeth!!

    Whereabouts is Sumter? I am in the Charlotte NC metro area, close enough to drive you think?

    I attended the concert in Sumter today... Man is he a great entertainer as well as a more accomplished organist then I had imagined. He was very polite and friendly at the reception after the concert not the least stuck-up type guy. I got his autograph on an DVD I bought ( he played for 1 1/2 hours without a break and one encore ). If he comes in your area of USA and Europe .. it is worth attending his concert. He has played many great concert halls/cathedrals.USA and Europe i.e. Carnegie Hall,Spivey Hall-atlanta, Notre Dame of Paris, West Minister Abby, just to name a few. His Toccata on" Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee" is really impressive in person.

    Afraid I found out too late about this one
    Sumter's a bit far for me anyhoo... But, I have heard Olivera twice play at Calvary Church in Charlotte on the big Moller organ there. And yes, he is a phenomenal talent, and a prince of a guy to boot!

    OMG you guys would NOT believe what i've recently gotten!! My father (God bless his heart) e-mailed Hector and saying that we'll be going to his concert and if it would be possible if we could meet him. Well, the next day we got an anwer back from Lieve Olivera! She said that it Mr. Olivera would be expecting them backstage at intermission and after the concert!! And she said that he would love to have a picture with her! Then his manager emailed us and said that Maestro Olivera has never invited anyone backstage before, or maybe even personalizing the concert on my behalf!

    O.o I was spell-bound! AAAAND my parents said that we'll go if I finish reading my book. Heck yea I'm now going to read it until my eyes hurt! Thankfully though i only got about 6 more chapters left though I'm reading the Scarlet Pimpernel. Amazing book.... amazing....

    Congratulations, Silver

    This will be a highlight you'll never forget. You'll have to tell us all about it after the event ... and hopefully you can post a picture, too.
