Hollywood Studio Symphony

The Hollywood Studio Symphony is the credited name of the symphony orchestra behind many major soundtracks, including The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Sucker Punch, Jurassic Park III, Last Samurai, Pirates of the Caribbean, We Are Marshall, Spider-Man 2, Lost and The Bourne Supremacy. Contrary to what its name might suggest, the orchestra is not a conventional symphony orchestra, in that all of its members are freelance musicians who are contracted individually, and differ across individual soundtracks.
