Perth Symphony Orchestra

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.

The next episode of Perth Symphony's Music on the Move hears CEO Bourby Webster in conversation (from isolation!) with Dr. Ashley William Smith.

Ash has performed and studied throughout Australia and the world, and has some of the nation’s most prestigious prizes and awards to his name. He is now the Head of Winds and Contemporary Performance at UWA and has just accepted a place on the Perth Symphony Board of Directors.

Ash's performance history and career is fascinating, take a listen!
