About this Performance
Hector Olivera was a pipe organ prodigy, beginning at age three and entering the Buenos Aires Conservatory at six. Later, after graduating from Juilliard, Olivera won the American Guild of Organists’ Improvisation Contest, thus launching his international career. His repertoire this time will include “Spring” and “Summer” from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, a work by Joseph Jongen, and tango-inspired music by fellow Argentine Astor Piazzolla.
