Spreckels Center Grand Piano

is a gift of

Gerald Francois Laughlin Jr.

U.S. Naval Academy

Class of 1953

We have the great pleasure to host a special piano lecture and concert featuring Harold Kafer who will play and discuss different variations of the musical piece "America".

Mr. Kafer has been retired from Northern Illinois University (NIU) since 2010 and lives in Coronado seasonally. He served NIU as the Director of the School of Music, Dean of the College Visual and Performing Arts and ultimately Deputy Provost.

He began piano study at the age of 14, and as a senior in high school, won first prize in the Phoenix Symphony Concerto Competition and a scholarship to The Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara. This marked the beginning of his long music career that led him to Coronado where the Center is fortunate to provide a space for him to share his life long talent.
