Former Master Class students wrote:

Dear Hector:

Thanks for all your hard work and arrangements. The Master Class was a dream come true. For the past 10 years I have looked forward to Organ Power to see and hear Hector. NAMM keeps me informed and Hector's performance keeps me inspired for a full year. This time I've not only come away inspired, but I have enough information to keep me busy for well over a year of practice!

Thanks again for the hospitality and a wonderful workshop.

Hector and Lieve,

I wanted to drop you a line to thank you for all the work you and Hector did to make the Roland Master Class a great success! Hector has the unique and wonderful combination of having a God-given gift, recognized and nurtured by the adults in his life, the understanding that hard work and dedication are required to fulfill the potential of the gift, and the grace to share his gift with others. It would be easy for him to "rest on his laurels" - but we are so lucky that he has chosen not to do that!

Thanks for sharing him with us! I hope to see you again soon!

A note about the beautiful city of Sarasota, Florida:

While snow is falling in Northern States, Sarasota is drenched with sunshine in the winter months, with temperatures averaging from the high 60's to a glorious mid 70's!

February is the time of the month that "snowbirds" flock to Florida, particularly to Sarasota, known for its culture and stunning beaches.

The residence of Hector Olivera is approximately 5 miles from Siesta Key's beach, 6 miles from downtown Sarasota, 2 miles from Sarasota Mall, 15 miles from Sarasota International Airport, 58 miles from Tampa Airport, 2 hours from Disney World. In other words: a perfect location!

Registered participants will receive a list of various hotels in the direct neighborhood.

Car rental companies are directly available at the airport; airports are easily accessible.
