A special 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 Chiago 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.
