Hector Olivera

The Tuscarawas Philharmonic proudly presents this internationally-acclaimed organist whose concerts of both popular and classical music on his two touring organs invariably give rise to such accolades as “dazzling,” “stupendous,” “totally impossible to adequately describe,” “the sheer power (he) can unleash,” “absolute Olympic virtuosity” and “in a class by himself.”

Since entering the Buenos Aires Conservatory as a child prodigy at age six, Hector Olivera has become one of the most sought-after organists in the world. Whether in a prestigious venue like Carnegie Hall, Royal Albert Hall or Cathedral Notre Dame in Paris, in conjunction with a celebrated event like the Olympics, or in one of countless private "standing-room-only" concerts for international heads of state, Olivera’s passionate and stirring artistry brings audiences to their feet time and time again.

His technical virtuosity is absolutely astounding, but at the core of his playing lies a remarkably deep and emotional invitation for the audience to not just listen, but fully engage in a musical experience. Hector Olivera is truly "original," presenting both classical and popular works in an evening of music you will certainly never forget.
