What is a "chamber orchestra"?
A chamber orchestra is a smaller ensemble compared to a full orchestra, typically consisting of around 15 to 30 musicians, with often just one player per part. This configuration allows for a more intimate and nuanced performance, as each musician plays a distinct role without doubling parts. The smaller size and one-player-per-part setup enable greater interaction among musicians and a more detailed, precise interpretation of the music. Chamber orchestras typically perform classical pieces and are ideal for smaller venues.
Example
