Just got an email inviting me to a "Masters" training session with Hector Olivera – only because I'm on his mailing list – not because I am any kind of organist. I'll put in a big plug for Hector – as far as I am concerned, he is the world's greatest organist. There was a reference to to something called the Roland Atelier. While searching their site for information, they showed a link to a video with Hector playing.<\/p>\n
First heard and met Hector in San Francisco when he played the dedicatory concert on a new organ in my church there (Miraloma Community Church). The manufacturer had put every "bell and whistle" on the organ for a demonstration site and wanted to show off their organ to the world, and so brought Hector to S.F. Was I ever impressed (me, the guy who loves theater organs).<\/p>\n
Then in 2006, Mount Hermon bought a Rogers Touring Organ that was just sitting around the factory. We were at the Home Schooler's Family Camp, and Dave Talbot played a "mini-concert" which was a great demonstration of his talent and the power of the instrument…and then they announced that Hector was coming to play. Decision made – done deal! Karen and I went down and spent the night just so we would not have to rush home. Hector got some impressive sounds from that organ!<\/p>\n
Here's a link to a YouTube Video<\/a> that will knock your socks off. Even if you don't like organ music, what Hector does with an organ will amaze you!<\/p>\n Can't wait until he is somewhere near again…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Just got an email inviting me to a "Masters" training session with Hector Olivera – only because I'm on his mailing list – not because I am any kind of organist.
