The Philadelphia Orchestra was founded in 1900, and has developed and maintained its status as a prominent symphonic ensemble throughout its existence. Its history informs and intersects with the broader history of music in the twentieth century, as well as numerous historical movements, events and developments on a regional, national and global scale. The Orchestra's roots date to 1893, when Gustav Hinrichs, Henry Gordon Thunder and William Gilchrist founded the amateur Philadelphia Symphony Society, which performed a series of concerts conducted by Fritz Scheel. In 1899 Scheel assembled a more professional group, which formed the basis of The Philadelphia Orchestra. Fundraising efforts allowed it to achieve permanent status in 1900. Backed financially by wealthy Philadelphians and the supportive efforts of its Women's Committee, The Philadelphia Orchestra grew and established itself under Scheel's leadership, performing regularly at the Academy of Music, traveling to give concerts in nearby cities, and drawing prominent guest conductors such as Richard Strauss (1904) and soloists such as Arthur Rubenstein (1906). When Scheel died in 1907, he was followed briefly by Karl (sometimes "Carl") Pohlig, who was forced out in 1912 after a romantic affair caused a public scandal. At this point the Board of Directors recruited Leopold Stokowski, whose nearly three decades as music director saw its rise in prominence, its active production of early orchestral sound recordings – culminating in the soundtrack to Disney Studios' Fantasia (1940) – its ambitious undertaking of North American tours, and its creation of special concert series for children. Stokowski and the Orchestra also strove to premier seminal orchestral works in the United States, including those by Gustav Mahler, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Jean Sibelius and Igor Stravinsky. Stokowski's musical direction of the Orchestra developed what came to be known as the "Philadelphia Sound," which was further shaped by his successor.

In 1931, Eugene Ormandy stepped in as a last-minute replacement for acclaimed New York Philharmonic music director Arturo Toscanini, who had been engaged as a guest conductor for The Philadelphia Orchestra while Stokowski was on vacation, and had fallen ill. Although he had guest-conducted The Philadelphia Orchestra at Robin Hood Dell the prior two summers, Ormandy was virtually unknown to regular concert audiences, having only served as a guest conductor of symphonic orchestras following an earlier career playing violin in a movie theater pit orchestra and conducting radio broadcast performances for the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS). The success of this engagement launched his career as a conductor of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, and subsequently led to his return to Philadelphia to share the role of conductor with Stokowski beginning in 1936, and then assume musical leadership of the Orchestra from 1941 until 1980.

During Ormandy's long tenure, The Philadelphia Orchestra became the most-recorded symphonic orchestra in the United States, producing over 1,200 recordings. It also undertook major international tours – including its historic 1973 People's Republic of China Tour – and continued its summer residency at Robin Hood Dell and Robin Hood Dell West (later the Mann Music Center) in Philadelphia, and established an additional summer residency at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in Saratoga Springs, New York. Ormandy also strengthened the Orchestra's relationship with Sergei Rachmaninoff, initially established by Stokowski, by performing and recording works composed by and, in some instances, performed or conducted by the renowned composer and pianist.

In 1957 The Philadelphia Orchestra Association purchased the Academy of Music, which up to that point was privately owned and operated; the Orchestra had leased performance and practice space each concert season. On finalizing its purchase, the Orchestra restored and renovated the Academy – built in 1857 – and established a separate administration to manage it. The 1960s were rocked by labor disputes and strikes, punctuated by the landmark contract generated in 1963 which guaranteed Orchestra musicians fifty-two weeks of employment each year and paid vacations. In January 1973 the Orchestra played at President Richard Nixon's second inauguration, a performance which a number of musicians vehemently opposed due to Nixon's role in the Vietnam War. In 1980, after serving as a regular guest conductor for the Orchestra for eight years, Riccardo Muti was named music director, and Ormandy assumed the position of conductor laureate, which he maintained until his death in 1985.

Muti served as the Orchestra's music director until 1992, and was succeeded by Wolfgang Sawallisch, who in turn became conductor laureate when Christoph Eschenbach assumed the role in 2003. During the 1980s, 1990s and the 2000s, the Orchestra continued its tradition of ambitious touring with its 50th Anniversary transcontinental tour in 1986 and anniversary tours of China in 1993 and 2008; it also became the first American orchestra to visit Vietnam in 1999. Through the turn of the century it continued its focus on recording, producing albums including a 1988 recording of all nine Beethoven symphonies – the first by an American orchestra – on compact disc (CD), as well as outreach, establishing a series of neighborhood concerts in 2000 to connect with communities outside of traditional performance venues. In 2001 the Orchestra moved into its new primary performance venue at The Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts.

Charles Dutoit began a brief term as chief conductor in 2008, followed by Yannick Nézet-Séguin's appointment as music director designate in 2010 and music director in 2012. He assumed leadership responsibilities amidst the Orchestra's declaration of chapter 11 bankruptcy in the spring of 2011, from which it emerged the following summer after reorganizing. As of October 2023, Nézet-Séguin remains the music and artistic director of The Philadelphia Orchestra.

Scope and Contents

These files were created, organized and maintained by Orchestra personnel from 1905 through 1967, with the majority predating 1955. While overlapping chronologically with other areas of the collection that also include early materials, this group contains a large concentration of correspondence among the Orchestra's founders, early leaders, managers and creative forces. It tells the story of how the Orchestra began to formulate its governing body several years after its foundation and covers a range of activities that includes drafting and managing financial plans, budgets and funds; securing performance venues and facilities; addressing legal, labor and union matters; managing ticket sales, subscriptions and patron seating assignments; and recruiting, managing and collaborating with music directors, guest conductors, musicians and soloists. Notable figures represented include William P. Barba, Curtis Bok, Edward Bok, Robert K. Cassatt, Benjamin Ludlow, William Jay Turner and Alexander Van Rensselaer.

Materials found in this area of the collection trace the creative development of the Orchestra under its second conductor, Karl Pohlig ("Carl" Pohlig) who led the Orchestra from 1907-1912, and its third, Leopold Stokowski, who is represented by over 55 folders of detailed correspondence from 1912-1941. Eugene Ormandy, Stokowski's eventual successor and the Orchestra's longest-tenured conductor, is represented through five files of correspondence from 1931-1935, capturing the period between Ormandy's appearance with the Orchestra as a last-minute substitute for the guest conductor Arturo Toscanini, and his appointment in 1936 as joint conductor with Stokowski (during this time Ormandy was the Director of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra). Also included is Ossip Gabrilowitsch's correspondence from 1916-1936; Gabrilowitsch served as a guest conductor and Stokowski's co-conductor, and also appeared as piano soloist with The Philadelphia Orchestra, through 1931. Other correspondence files reveal relationships the Orchestra developed and maintained with other musical organizations and individuals including conductors, composers, musicians, accountants, lawyers, benefactors, donors, ticket companies, piano and organ companies and the United States Armed Forces.

This material further covers the Orchestra's radio broadcasting activities from 1923 to 1950 in collaboration with Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS), the International Harvester Company, the Mutual Broadcasting System and The Wessel Company. Of note are the broadcast comments written by Harl McDonald from 1943 to 1950. McDonald served as the Orchestra's manager and was also a musician, composer and lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania. His comments comprise scripts written to be narrated and aired along with the Orchestra's performances in order to educate radio audiences about musical history and music theory.

Also documented are the Orchestra's relationship with the Academy of Music from 1909-1950, which during this period was an independent performance hall the Orchestra leased for its Philadelphia performances; the Women's Committee for The Philadelphia Orchestra from 1928-1950, including the correspondence of Frances A. Wister and Elizabeth H. Arnett ("Mrs. William Arnett"); the Civic Concert Service and Community Concert Service, which organized performances in the 1940s; and music publishers in the 1950s. A small number of files record specific events such as an auction dinner (1933), The Bach Festival Society of Philadelphia (1936-1950), the Rachmaninoff Festival (1939) and several other performances.

Additional materials related to these topics will be found within other areas of the collection; please read the Scope and Contents notes for all sections of the collection when looking for specific topic or area or interest.

Series 2. Organizational governance (currently unavailable).

Scope and Contents

C. Wanton Balis, Jr. served on the Board of Directors of The Philadelphia Orchestra Association for a 35-year span in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, serving as the President of the Academy of Music, and both Chairman and President of the Orchestra Association. He maintained a close relationship with Eugene Ormandy, and played a key role in union negotiations, fundraising, tour planning, recording agreements and the Orchestra's performances at Robin Hood Dell in Philadelphia and in Saratoga Springs, New York. Balis travelled with the Orchestra on its historic People's Republic of China Tour (September 10-23, 1973).

Files in this group were likely created and maintained by Balis or his staff. They trace Balis's extensive involvement with and work on behalf of the Orchestra from 1957 through 1979. A majority of the materials consist of correspondence, financial records, meeting minutes, agendas and legal documents. Of note are his files regarding the People's Republic of China Tour, which include a detailed journal he kept and various materials and items he and his wife collected on the trip.

Scope and Contents

This series contains a majority of the collection's administrative records pertaining to tours, out-of-town performances and venues outside of Philadelphia, as well as Robin Hood Dell and Robin Hood Dell West (later the Mann Music Center). It also covers tours and performances that were either planned and then cancelled, or proposed but not actualized.

Early files document performances in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore from the 1900s through the 1930s, the Orchestra's earliest coast-to-coast (transcontinental) tours in 1936 and 1937, and concerts housed in a variety of municipal auditoriums and gymnasiums across the Northeast and Midwest in the early 1940s. They also record early collaborations with other American symphonic orchestras and the establishment of seasonal engagements at Carnegie Hall, New York; The Lyric Theatre, Baltimore; Constitution Hall, Washington, D.C., and Horace Bushnell Hall (later Horace Bushnell Memorial Hall) in Hartford, Connecticut. In contrast to early records documenting the Orchestra's growing presence as a domestic touring group, files regarding proposed tours to Europe beginning in 1923 reveal the Orchestra's desire to travel overseas long before it embarked on its first transatlantic tour of Britain in 1949. Interrupted by war and economic uncertainty, and confounded by the sheer organizational complexities of transporting musicians, personnel and thousands of pounds of instruments, equipment and luggage across the globe, these early proposed tour files reveal the false starts that preceded the eventual growth of the Orchestra's international presence.

Numerous files from the 1950s through the 1980s document the Orchestra's extensive activities touring domestically and internationally, as well as the establishment of summer residencies at Robin Hood Dell and Robin Hood Dell West – which became the Mann Music Center in 1979 – in northwest Philadelphia, and the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in Saratoga Springs, New York (abbreviated as "SPAC" throughout this finding aid). A number of files from these decades document the Orchestra's participation in the "May Festival" at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, as well as regular concerts given at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., and Wolf Trap Farm Park in Vienna, Virginia. There is also extensive documentation of the Orchestra's 1955, 1958 and 1975 European tours, its 1966 Latin American tour, the People's Republic of China Tour in 1973, and the Tour of Japan and Korea of 1978. Files from the mid-1980s through the early 2000s do not represent such comprehensive coverage of tour planning, although the Orchestra's 50th Anniversary North American Tour (1986), European tour (1987), Tour of the Americas (1988), Spring tour of the United States and Canada (1990) and "Israel Festival" (1992) are documented with itineraries and schedules, in addition to files revealing the Orchestra's enduring presence at Carnegie Hall, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the Mann Music Center and the Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC).

Materials found in this group include correspondence; schedules and itineraries; programs and program drafts; contracts with venues and tour planners/promoters; personnel lists; promotional materials; travel documents such as customs forms, hotel reservations and transportation agreements; insurance documents; and a variety of financial records including budgets, box office statements, expense and income sheets, bills and invoices, and materials regarding funding and sponsorship. Some files contain floor plans, schematics and renderings of performance spaces; ticket subscription information and patron seating records; payroll sheets and correspondence with patrons. Some files additionally contain newspaper clippings, news releases and other forms of news coverage. Collectively, these files document every aspect of planning and executing tours and out-of-town performances, from early planning to completion. However, coverage of specific tours and performances is uneven, with some events heavily documented and others recorded with a single itinerary or venue contract. Folder titles should guide researchers as to the scope and content of individual files.

Those seeking information about the Orchestra's Latin American tour (May-June 1966), People's Republic of China Tour (September 10-23, 1973) and European tour (May 5-June 1, 1975) should also consult the papers of C. Wanton Balis, Jr., who was Chairman of the Orchestra and kept records relating to these three tours. He accompanied the Orchestra on its tour to China in 1973, and created and collected materials that can be found in his records, including an extensive journal documenting, all of which are located in Series 2d. C. Wanton Balis, Jr. papers.

Arrangement

This group of materials is further split into subsections A. Domestic and B. International, both of which are arranged chronologically by performance date, tour date range, concert season, or creation date if the former criteria is unknown. Tours that include both domestic and international performance locations are located with the International material.

File title names for tours begin with the given name of the tour used by the Orchestra (ex. "Transcontinental tour" or "Latin American tour"). Files for individual venues begin with the name of the city followed by either the state or country name.

Scope and Contents

This series contains administrative files regarding the Orchestra's audio and visual recordings, its radio and television broadcasts, and its participation or inclusion in film. This group of materials does not include actual audio or visual recordings, film or other recorded media.

A large portion of files document the Orchestra's activities producing audio recordings in collaboration with record labels, most notably RCA Victor (so-named after the acquisition of the Victor Talking Machine Company by the Radio Corporation of America in 1929 and later relabeled RCA Records), Columbia Records, CBS Records (a unit of the Columbia Broadcasting Company) and Angel Records (founded and operated by EMI Group Limited). Over 40 files document the Orchestra's work with RCA Victor from 1918-1990, and over 60 files cover recording activities with Columbia Records from 1943-1990. Files regarding CBS Records and Angel Records concentrate on recordings produced in the 1970s and 1980s. These records convey the story of the Orchestra's first forays into audio recording under the meticulous direction of Leopold Stokowski and trace the numerous developments and changes in recording technologies for large symphonic orchestras throughout the 20th century.

About a third of the files in this series concern the Orchestra's radio broadcasting activities, with particular focus on its radio transcription service, which provided recordings to radio broadcast networks and stations specifically tailored for broadcast and not intended for commercial distribution. Several files date to the late 1920s and 1930s, but the majority document radio broadcasts from the 1960s through the 1980s, with a heavy concentration in the 1960s. Television broadcast and production files reveal the Orchestra's participation in the expansive growth of network television in the late 1950s and 1960s. Files primarily comprising correspondence between the Orchestra and CBS Television, and with local stations Philadelphia KYW-TV3, WCAU-TV, and WHYY-TV document both the process of producing telecasts of Orchestra performances, and the creation of original television content featuring the Orchestra. Of note are groups of "descriptive proposals" for television productions from the late 1950s and 1960s, which employ creative storytelling aiming to educate and entertain the public by fusing orchestral music with narrative stories. These range from a proposal for the expansive theme "Music and Man," to a whimsical proposal involving children's book author and actress Kay Thompson's character "Eloise" introducing children to the Orchestra's instruments through a series of comical vignettes, such as accidentally tipping over an entire set of percussion instruments while talking to Eugene Ormandy. Also included in this series are files regarding the Orchestra's involvement in the production of Disney Studio's Fantasia (1940), and several other films for which the Orchestra provided soundtrack music.

Much of this material comprises correspondence among Orchestra personnel; as well as correspondence with record labels, recording studios, audio engineers and other staff; venues where performances were recorded; radio and television networks and stations; guest artists and soloists featured in recordings or broadcasts as well as their representatives; advertising firms and sponsors; and people and organizations seeking to collaborate with the Orchestra on creative projects or obtain copyright permissions for recorded works. Materials also include recording programs, catalogs, schedules and session sheets; contracts and agreements; copyright permissions and royalty statements; promotional materials; clippings; labor agreements; and financial documentation such as account statements, invoices, billing statements and budgets.

Documentation of the Orchestra's earlier recording and broadcasting activities can be found in Series 1. Early correspondence and personnel files, which contains several files on audio recordings produced in the 1930s as well as over 25 radio broadcast files from 1923-1950.

Arrangement

This series is divided into sections A. Alphabetical by organization name and B. Chronological by broadcast, recording, production or release date(s). This reflects two distinct methods by which the Orchestra originally created, named and filed its documents. Folders transmitted at the time of gift were either labeled by company name and slightly modified by the processor to standardize title formats (ex. "Columbia Records, correspondence" and "RCA Victor, royalty statements"), or were grouped in folders by subject with descriptive titles (ex. "Interested radio stations, correspondence" and "Recorded concerts (1985-1986 season)." In order to preserve the Orchestra's original titles and filing methods, the processor preserved these two systems as distinct groups, the first of which is arranged alphabetically and second chronologically. Researchers should peruse both sections for thorough coverage of specific subjects.

Following the Orchestra's titling conventions for files, CBS (Columbia Broadcasting System) and Columbia Records are filed separately, as is Sony Music Entertainment. All files regarding The Victor Talking Machine Company, RCA Victor, and RCA Records are grouped together and begin with "RCA."

File titles for radio stations are formatted as: state: city, station (ex. Ohio: Columbus, WBNS).
