has had deep meaningful relationships with many classical orchestras around the country. Most particularly, Martin and the hallowed Philadelphia Orchestra have had particularly tight ties. In 2018, Martin headlined the orchestra’s 161st Academy Ball with conductor/music director Yannick Nézet-Séguin as cohost to benefit the legendary local hall the Academy of Music.
Composer/trumpet player Wynton Marsalis, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, opera singer Renée Fleming and piano virtuoso Lang Lang all took part in the event. But it was Martin and the orchestra’s rousing, Copland-esque take on “Office Supplies” elaborately multi-tracked from the homes of Martin and the many other musicians, — that took our breath away.
“The reason it is called ‘Office Supplies’ is a secret I will tell you at the end of the song,” said Martin with a smile at the beginning of the video.
