Hollywood Symphony Orchestra

Renowned Orchestral Ensemble Specializing in Film Scores

The Hollywood Symphony Orchestra is not an artist, composer, or band in the traditional sense but rather a collective name that can refer to various ensembles of studio musicians based in Hollywood, California. These musicians are typically highly skilled professionals who specialize in recording music for film and television soundtracks. The term "Hollywood Symphony Orchestra" may be used generically to credit the orchestral performers on a soundtrack album, and it is not associated with a single, permanent orchestra. The musicians who perform under this name can vary from project to project, depending on the requirements of the score and the availability of players. They often work under the direction of different conductors and composers who are responsible for the music in various media productions. As such, the Hollywood Symphony Orchestra has contributed to numerous soundtracks over the years, providing the instrumental backdrop for many memorable cinematic moments.
