Aeolian Hall is getting a high-tech overhaul thanks to a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF).

The 136-year-old London landmark will see the installation of new video, lighting and sound gear thanks to a $150,000 OTF Capital grant.

"The Aeolian Hall is one of the London's most cherished buildings. This investment by the Ontario Trillium Foundation to install new lighting, sound and video equipment is great news for many in our community," said Terence Kernaghan, MPP for London North Centre.

"Many Londoners will benefit from having an improved experience of local arts, culture and heritage."

The new technical equipment will make the performance hall a world-class venue.

"This grant has allowed us to upgrade our aging equipment to 'State of the Art,'" said Clark Bryan, executive director of The Aeolian Hall Musical Arts Association.

"The Aeolian will be able to continue to offer artists and the public a World-Class Facility with this new equipment."

Aeolian Hall hosts hundreds of events every year and opens its spaces to the community, along with a number of free events.

The grant from the OTF comes from a $108-million fund that is awarding grants to over 600 projects across the province.
