A tradition of excellence for more than 60 years. In the fall of 1940, Mr. Herman H. Rinne decided it was time to have an orchestra for people who loved to play but had other occupations. Mr. Rinne was a musician and businessman -- he owned the Indiana Music Company at 115 East Ohio Street. He helped establish and played in the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra for 8 years under the direction of Ferdinand Schaefer. Thirteen players showed up for the first meeting and the orchestra quickly grew to 50 members. Mr. Rinne suggested the name "Indianapolis Philharmonic Orchestra" - He said, "we may not be good but at least the name sounds imposing."
