In the largest session to date for new Marvel TV series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”, Los Angeles composer Bear McCreary led a 91-piece orchestra at a scoring session on Sony’s famed Barbara Streisand Scoring Stage in Culver City Dec. 16.
Peter Rotter compiled the massive orchestra comprising 36 violins, 15 violas, 12 celli, 7 basses, two each of flutes, clarinets and bassoons, three trumpets, six horns, three trombones, and oboe, tuba and harp.

McCreary, himself a member of AFM Local 47, is a longtime advocate of local musicians—so much so that in 2011 the Recording Musicians Association of Los Angeles surprised him with an honorary plaque thanking him for his efforts to keep orchestral music alive in film and TV.
