THE PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA OF LOS ANGELES On June 11, 1919, the Los Angeles papers announced the organization of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Los Angeles, sponsored by William Andrews Clark, Jr. At that time the statement was made that the Orchestra would be organized and its concerts given under a condition as nearly perfect as possible. It was the intention of the founder to create and evolve as fine an orchestral institution as has existed in America. Nothing has been permitted to overshadow the pre-eminence of this one animating ideal. The founding of the Philharmonic Orchestra was not a sudden impulsive move on the part of Mr. Clark, but was the result of a mature deliberation and a carefully developed idea. Its successful evolution into one of the greatest musical organizations in America is due in great part to the intelligent devotion and unsparing attention given to the institution by its Board of Directors and Mr. Clark, who, with characteristic enthusiasm and thoroughness, personally supervises the varied details of its many activities. The first, most vital step was choosing a conductor who would cooperate in carrying out Mr. Clark's ideals. After thorough investigation as to who might be available the chair was offered to Walter Henry Rothwell, who has been conductor of the St. Paul Symphony for some years. The first concert was given at Trinity Auditorium October 24, 1919. Walter Henry Rothwell remained as conductor of the Orchestra until his untimely death March 12, 19275 Emil Oberhoffer finished out the 1926-27 seasonp George Schneevoigt, Finnish conductor, held the baton for the 1927-28 and 1928-29 seasons. Dr. Artur Rodzinski, Polish conductor, has been with the organization since the 1929-30 season. Dx. Aaron Ronzrxsxi.
