ca. 1935. Eugene Linden conducting at a rehearsal of the Tacoma Philharmonic Orchestra. This is possibly taken at the rehearsal space provided at the Scottish Rite cathedral at 5 So. G St. At age 21, when he was barely old enough to vote, Eugene Linden founded the Tacoma Philharmonic Orchestra. He was already a seasoned conductor, having begun conducting with the Portland Oregon Junior Symphony at the age of 17. At the ripe age of 21, he cast around for a city where he could start his own orchestra and settled on Tacoma. The city was large enough to support an orchestra, had enough musical talent and had an appreciative artistic populace. However, no one had ever succeeded in establishing a symphony here. He arrived penniless and with no powerful supporters but with hard work and a zeal that captured the devotion of the musicians, he established a core group of 40 musicians and presented a concert 6 months after his arrival. The Philharmonic had many successful seasons in the Jason Lee auditorium and in 1938 moved the concerts into the Temple Theatre. The move proved to be a costly one and the year ended in a financial loss. The concert year 1938-1939 saw the organization out of existence as an orchestra as they struggled to erase the debt. In the fall of 1939, Mr. Linden was summoned from the Los Angeles area where he was conducting the Long Beach symphony and concerts were started once again at Jason Lee. During the war years, due to the loyalty of Mr. Linden and his musicians, Tacoma was one of the few cities of her size that maintained their symphony orchestra. In fact, 1945-46 saw the highest number of members in its history. (TNT 2-28-1934; TDL 3/11/1934; TNT 2/24/1946)

ca. 1935. Tacoma Philharmonic Orchestra conductor and founder Eugene Linden. Linden founded the symphony orchestra at the ripe age of 21 in 1933. Tacoma was grateful to have the guidance of this zealous young man although he was cited by the larger, more "cultured" cities as not having enough experience. He arrived in Tacoma knowing no one and attracted musicians by his talent, charm and sheer desire to create music. He developed the Philharmonic into one on the best small symphonies in the country. He was also instrumental in the formation of the Pacific Northwest Symphony orchestra in 1947, made up of musicians from Seattle, Tacoma and Olympia, and directed by Linden. He was selected as conductor for the Seattle Symphony in 1947 due to a revolt of the musicians who recognized his talent. He lasted two seasons (through 1950) before being replaced by French conductor Manuel Rosenthal. He remains the only Northwest reared conductor of the Seattle Symphony. His boldest venture followed, the creation of a great regional opera company, The Pacific Northwest Grand Opera Company. The opera company folded under financial stress. Eugene Linden, the Northwest musical prodigy, dropped from the limelight. He died January 16, 1983 at the age of 70 in Lincoln City, Oregon.
