Formed in 1957 by record executive David L. Miller, the 101 Strings Orchestra became one of the most recognizable names in easy listening and orchestral pop. Known for its lush arrangements and sweeping string sound, the ensemble recorded hundreds of albums covering classical favorites, film themes, and popular standards. Conducted by various maestros through the years, 101 Strings achieved worldwide success, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s, defining the elegant, mood-setting orchestral style that continues to resonate with audiences today.
