Scope and content
In June of 1936, Eugene Linden, the Tacoma Philharmonic Orchestra conductor, boarded a train at Tacoma's Union station for a trip to Salzburg, Austria. Linden, 24, had received the coveted Salzburg Mozarteum Academy scholarship and was going to Salzburg to study under conductors Bruno Walter, Arturo Toscanini and Felix Weingratner. He was the only full-scholarship student that season at the Academy. The scholarship was awarded by the Institute of International Education in New York City and was open to all American conductors under 30 years of age. Mr. Linden attended the seven week course of study and returned to the U.S. in September to begin rehearsals for the Orchestra's opening concert in October. (TDL 4/23/1936; TNT 6/15/1936)
