A
studio orchestra is an
orchestra that exists only in a recording, movie, video game, or television studio. That is, it does not perform in public concerts or for audiences generally. Studio orchestras are typically run by movie and television studios to produce film and television soundtrack recordings. Nearly all
easy listening orchestras are studio orchestras. Some famous easy listening studio orchestras are the
101 Strings, the
Living Strings, and the
Hollyridge Strings.
