The FILMharmonic Orchestra is MUSA's contracted recording ensemble — selected for their experience, discipline, and ability to perform at the highest level in a recording environment.
Drawn from Prague's leading symphony orchestras, the FILMharmonic Orchestra brings decades of professional experience to every session. These are musicians who sight-read complex scores at speed, respond precisely to directorial input, and maintain consistent performance across demanding recording days.
Over 25 years, the ensemble has contributed to more than 600 productions across film, television, video games, and studio albums — delivering broadcast-ready results for composers and producers worldwide.
Complex scores performed at speed from first read. These musicians deliver accurate, expressive takes without wasting studio time on rehearsal.
Drawn from the Czech Philharmonic, Prague Symphony, and Prague Radio Symphony — musicians with decades of concert and recording experience.
From a solo string quartet to a full symphony with choir. We contract exactly the players your score requires — scaled to your budget and vision.
The FILMharmonic Orchestra is available in any configuration — from a solo string quartet or small chamber group to a full symphony orchestra of 80+ players. We contract exactly the musicians your score requires, matching the ensemble size to your budget and acoustic goals.
For film and game scoring, choir and orchestra are typically recorded in separate sessions. This gives producers and mixers greater control over balance, placement, and processing in post-production. Combined sessions are more common in classical recording contexts. We handle contracting, scheduling, and venue logistics for both approaches.
Absolutely — remote sessions are our most popular format. The ensemble is fully equipped for remote direction via Source-Connect Pro, ListenTo, 4K multi-camera video, and real-time talkback to the conductor. Composers and directors have led sessions from Los Angeles, London, Tokyo, and beyond.
Our typical lead time is 1–6 weeks from confirmed booking to session day. This covers orchestra contracting, venue securing, and music preparation. We've accommodated rush projects in under two weeks when schedules align. The earlier you reach out, the more flexibility we have on dates and ensemble size.
Yes. If your score calls for a specific soloist or you'd like to request particular section principals, let us know during the quote process. We work closely with our musicians and can accommodate specific personnel requests based on availability and your project's requirements.
