CG Conn Chicago Store and the Conn Symphony Orchestra


Posted by Saxquest [See all of this user's videos] about 2 years ago
Here's a wonderful clip from the 1938 film First Chair produced by Wilding Picture Productions in cooperation with C.G. Conn Ltd. In the 1920's, C.G. Conn almost singlehandedly started the school band movement as a means of expanding business and securing their future through music education. This clip shows the only known footage of the Conn Symphony Orchestra with special guests showcasing their wears on Conn instruments. In order of appearance Harry Glanzt - solo trumpet for the New York Philharmonic Orchestra Fred Rapp - tuba soloist, radio and recording artist Andy Sanella - saxophone soloist and radio orchestra leader Simone Mantia - baritone horn/euphonium virtuoso and trombone artist Ross Gorman - oboe soloist and multireed instrumentalist most noted for inventing the clarinet glissando at the beginning of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue Del Staigers - 1st trumpet for the Radio City Music Hall
