Loukianos (Lucien) Cavadias (1879 -1970) was an orchestra leader and composer. He is pictured here with the Philharmonic Orchestra 'Orpheus' in #Rodosto, Eastern #Thrace (today #Tekirdag, #Turkey). In 1910 he was asked to help set up the philharmonic orchestra 'Orpheus' in Rodosto, but his career was cut short by the forced deportation of Greeks by the #YoungTurks, so Cavadias made his way to the US. In 1914, he graduated as a chief conductor from the Academy of Music in #NewYork.
