101 Strings Orchestra

The 101 Strings Orchestra was a prolific easy-listening ensemble best known for its lush, sweeping string arrangements. Emerging in the late 1950s, the group released hundreds of albums covering classical adaptations, pop standards, film themes, and international melodies. Rather than a fixed lineup, the name represented studio orchestras assembled by arrangers and conductors, creating a polished, cinematic sound that became a staple of mid-century mood music.
