We play in places and spaces you'd never expect to find an orchestra, from sheds to warehouses, foyers to art deco cinemas and aeroplane hangers! We perform music from Mozart to Metallica, Björk to Beethoven and everything in between. Our mission is 'Music for Everyone' and by taking the orchestra out of the concert hall and into communities across WA, we are proud to have performed to over 350,000 people so far.
032 'Music for pasta' and all occasions with Silas Hite (LA)
On this episode, Bourby talks to Emmy-winning film and television composer Silas Hite (LA), whose music you would have heard around the world from Netflix's Chef's Table to Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs. Hear how a serendipitous meeting between the the two came about some years ago, what it is like to soundtrack food and life in LA at the moment amidst the protests and unrest.
Listen closely and you'll hear music from Silas's album 'Sounds for a Dinner Party' in the background, and the episode finishes on his 'food symphony' from the piece No More Doubt from the soundtrack to the Chef's Table episode featuring n/naka and chef Niki Nakayama.
