Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Ottawa Philharmonic Orchestra : The Ottawa Philharmonic Orchestra, initially known as the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra, was founded in 1944, with largely non-professional and part-time musicians led by the conductor Allard de Ridder. The Orchestra performed at the Capitol Theatre and in school auditoriums. It was incorporated in 1945 under the Ottawa Philharmonic Organization. A women's committee was established in 1947, to assist the executive, and to work in fund-raising, organizing, among other events, the annual Springtime Party.

In 1950, de Ridder was replaced by concertmaster Eugene Kash, who instituted the children's concerts and subscription series. Under Thomas Mayer, who became conductor in 1956, the Orchestra acquired a nucleus of full-time musicians, expanded its season, and was broadcast by the C.B.C. However, union problems led to the suspension of the Orchestra in 1960 and, following the formation of the National Arts Centre Orchestra, the Ottawa Philharmonic Orchestra officially disbanded in 1971.
