August 20:
The Columbus Chapter of the AGO is hosting a workshop and recital by internationally-known organist and keyboard artist Hector Olivera on September 11 and 12.
The Saturday workshop will be held in Capital University’s Mees Hall from 10:00 a.m. until noon. During the workshop, Hector will concentrate on artistic registration from the simple to the complex. He will also share his approach to the art of transcribing keyboard and orchestral music for use on the organ. There is no admission charge for the workshop; all are welcome!
Sunday’s 4:00 p.m. recital will also be in Mees Hall. Mr. Olivera will play the Mees Hall Schantz pipe organ as well as the Roland Atelier; this will not be a traditional organ recital. Hector has a reputation of truly entertaining his audiences with his wit and dazzling displays of keyboard virtuosity. He often accompanies himself, simultaneously being the soloist and the orchestra. The Roland technology is great enough by itself to attract audio enthusiasts.
Current members of the Columbus Chapter of the American Guild of Organists will be admitted free of charge at the door with a picture ID.

members and increasing the chapter's visibility in the wider community.
