Grambs' Orchestra

Grambs' Orchestra was a musical ensemble that served as the house orchestra for O'Brien's Opera House from 1884 to 1899 while Fred Grambs and Ben Theiss operated the hall. Grambs served as arranger and conductor. The group usually performed with eight players, but was expanded as necessary for special performances.
