 Chicago Symphony Orchestra - Theodore Thomas
Theodore Thomas, the son of a town Stadtpfeifer (a bandleader who also arranged music for state occasions), showed interest in the violin at an early age.
(Thomas and his orchestra arrived in Chicago on October 9, 1871, to begin a new concert series when they learned that large parts of the city, including the Crosby Opera House where the concerts were booked, had been destroyed by a fire the night before.) Following additional setbacks, he finally disbanded the orchestra in 1888.
Thomas was never completely satisfied with the Auditorium Theatre as a performance space; it was far too cavernous for an orchestra, and it was nearly impossible to sell over 3,000 tickets for individual concerts.
