I wholeheartedly agree with you Joe. :lol:

We have in our midst and our present time, an artist who's musical ability's
compare or exceed that of "any other past or present performer"
in my opinion, and I am enormously thankful for the fact
that he shares his amazing performances with us. :D

I hope that sometime in the future that
I will have the pleasure of enjoying his artistry live !

Hi Mel,

If you plan to attend the 2014 ATOS convention you will have that opportunity. Pierre will be performing. For the first time ever, a VPO will be used for a convention concert. Pierre will also be performing on the San Filippo 5/80 as part of the 2014 Rialto Fest in the Chicago area.

We were delighted to have Pierre visit us last Sunday. Watching him play is very inspiring. Not only is his technique super-human, his arrangements and harmonizations are extremely musical.

By the way, the ATOS journal just released this week has a six page full color article written by Pierre about his Hauptwerk adventure.

Hi Joe

Any chance that Pierre's article can be published here or on the Paramount Website ?

Maybe I'm biased but the word "Amazing" just scratches the surface of the spirit we know as Pierre! The gem he is was being forged over time to be put in the light to dazzle with the pure talent that his spirit is at this time. The pollution of the music industry hasn't sullied him, but as with all such rarified spirits, play no human games with the spirit, just let it grow unfettered by our expectations and we can just take in his glow!
