Conrad Salinger (August 30, 1901, Brookline, Massachusetts ā June 17, 1962, Pacific Palisades, California[1]) was an American arranger, orchestrator and composer, who studied classical composition at the Paris Conservatoire. He is credited with orchestrating nine productions on Broadway from 1931 to 1938, and over seventy-five motion pictures from 1931 to 1962.
