Susie Benchasil Seiter

Susie Benchasil Seiter is a prolific conductor and orchestrator in film, television and video games. She hails from Baltimore where her early interests in choir and piano gave roots to her now thriving career in the music industry.  Susie received rigorous training at University of Southern California's prestigious Scoring for Motion Pictures and Television program.

Susie began her career assisting Hollywood composers and working at Disney's department of music preparation. She is best known for orchestrating the wildly popular concert tour THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: SYMPHONY OF THE GODDESSES, which has been performed more than ninety times by some of the world's most respected orchestras. In 2013, Susie worked alongside her husband, composer Chad Seiter, conducting and orchestrating his music to one of history's most popular franchises: STAR TREK: THE VIDEO GAME. She followed that up with orchestration on another popular franchise and childhood favorite SMURFS 2. 

Most recently, Susie orchestrated Fox Studio's animation THE BOOK OF LIFE, and is currently conducting the brand new concert tour, POKÉMON: SYMPHONIC EVOLUTIONS.

Susie takes pride in her contributions as a conductor and orchestrator because she believes that orchestral music should be shared and celebrated by all generations.
