Generally acknowledged as the BSO's first "professional" con- ductor, Gericke is credited with having transformed the BSO from a group of musicians into an orchestra. Among the many innovations that occurred during Gericke's conductorship were the inauguration in 1885 of the "Promenade Concerts," which were the predecessor of the Boston Pops; the commencement of tours to other United States cities in 1886, the initiation of a series of Young People's Concerts in 1887, and the move from the old Boston Music Hall to Symphony Hall in 1900.
