Spivey Hall,

Clayton College and State University's world class concert hall, has a

big weekend planned with organist Hector Olivera slated to perform on

both the Spivey Hall Albert Schweitzer Memorial Organ and his own Roland

Atelier 3000, while "Blue Lou" Donaldson brings his jazz quartet

to the venue on Saturday.

Olivera last

performed at Spivey Hall close to three years ago. The Argentinian organist

began his career at a young age. By the age of four he was the appointed

organist for the Church of the Immaculate Conception and by the age of

six he had entered the Buenos Aires Conservatory. He accepted a scholarship

to the Julliard School of Music at the age of 18 and began his concert

career three years later. He has since played on five continents in some

of the most notable venues in the world, including Royal Albert Hall and

St. Paul Cathedral.

Donaldson is

a saxophonist who played with jazz legends such as Thelonious Monk, Horace

Silver and Milt Jackson which led to a long and productive career that

has spanned seven decades. Last year he released "Lou's Blues"

and this weekend he will bring his famous quartet, which includes Dr.

Lonnie Smith, a legend in his own right, on the Hammond B-3 Organ.

Both shows

will start at 8:15 p.m. and tickets for each show are $30. Phone 770-961-3683

for more information.
