And An Enduring
Thank you :
An October 21rst concert marked the debut of the Art Center's
new acquisition--a Steinway Grand Player
Piano donated by the Loebl family
in memory of James D. Loebl ( 1927-2003 ). The
piano was purchased by Loebl's grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin
Weil in 1924 for their Chicago home. It was passed down to Mr.
Almer Weil of Beverly Hills, his uncle, then on to Loebl himself
in 1970 when it was brought to his Ojai home. The piano's gift
also included a large collection of player rolls, some recorded
by the original musicians.It is a great honor that the Art Center
was afforded this generous gift of music.
