chamber orchestra
Intimate classical group
A chamber orchestra is a small orchestra, typically with fewer than fifty musicians, suited to intimate venues and works originally composed for smaller ensembles.
The repertoire leans toward Baroque and Classical periods, though modern composers write for chamber orchestras too.
The chamber orchestra performed Mozart's divertimenti in the converted chapel.
