Which orchestra performed in Studio 8H as noted?

• A. New York Philharmonic
• B. Chicago Symphony Orchestra
• C. NBC Symphony Orchestra
• D. Metropolitan Opera Orchestra

Answer: (C)

Studio 8H was NBC’s primary broadcast studio, so the orchestra most logically associated with performing there is the NBC Symphony Orchestra—the house ensemble created by NBC to accompany its radio and TV programs. This group was closely tied to the network and appeared in many NBC broadcasts from Studio 8H, often under Toscanini, which makes it the best fit for “performed in Studio 8H as noted.” The other orchestras belong to different organizations and venues (city-based or opera company stages) and aren’t NBC’s house orchestra, so they wouldn’t be the ones identified as performing in that studio.
