About the Organist
Ray Brubacher is no stranger to the Weinberg - or to the mighty Wurlitzer. He headed the restoration project on the organ in 1970 and again in 1976, after the Great Flood of Frederick submerged much of the theatre's interior. A member of the Potomac Valley Theatre Organ Society, Mr. Brubacher has served as staff organist for the American Film Institute Theatre since 1973 and is also the silent film accompanist for the National Gallery of Art and the Mary Pickford Theatre in the Library of Congress.
