His skills developed rapidly and he was discovered by conductor and composer Alejandro García Caturla, who accompanied a 15-year-old Ojeda for the premier in Cuba of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue.
Ojeda frequently toured the major centers of Europe, North and South America, as well as presented concerts in his homeland of Cuba.
During one visit to Cuba he performed the Cuban premier of the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No.2 in C-minor, with the Havana Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Amadeo Roldán.
“Aside from his natural ability for the piano and his perfect pitch, he was someone interested in art in general, whether in literature such as poetry and storytelling, or in painting, [or] architecture.
He had a great sense of humor, yet was very refined both as a teacher and in personal relationships.”[2] In his final years Ojeda moved to Miami, Florida, to be close to family.
