Conductor, Herbert Lodge from the Winter Gardens, Margate
Herbert Lodge began his musical career as a double-bass player. Having won a scholarship at the Royal Academy of Music at an early age, he studies under Charles Winterbottom. Before long he was playing in the Covent Garden Opera Orchestra and in 1919 he joined the London Symphony and Royal Philharmonic Orchestras. He has given double-bass recitals in London and the provinces and over the air. But like Koussevitzky, Lodge was not content to remain a double-bassist ; he aspired to the baton. Even at eighteen he was conducting an amateur operatic society ; during the War he ran a symphony orchestra of his own ; in 1929 he succeeded Bainbridge Robinson as musical director of the Margate Municipal Orchestra.
