Charles Gerhardt began to play the piano at the age of five and was already composing and orchestrating his scores at nine. His formal studies were undertaken at the College of William and Mary and the Juilliard School of Music. During World War II, Gerhardt, known to his friends simply as Chuck, was a chaplain's assistant. At the conclusion of the conflict, he enrolled at the universities of Illinois and Southern California. Upon graduation, he was hired by RCA Victor to transfer old recordings by legendary artists such as Enrico Caruso and British pianist Artur Schnabel for issue on the new LP-formatted vinyl records. He soon advanced to the mixing and the assembly of new recordings by such artists as Sir Adrian Boult, Leopold Stokowski, Massimo Freccia, Alexander Gibson, René Leibowitz, Erich Leinsdorf, Charles Münch, Fritz Reiner, and James Levine. Gerhardt met and became friends with many of these legendary conductors. Arturo Toscanini, who had created the NBC Symphony for RCA Victor, worked with Gerhardt for several years and encouraged him in the direction of a conducting career.
