chamber orchestras
Intimate string groups
Chamber orchestras is the plural of chamber orchestra, a small ensemble typically comprising fifteen to forty players—larger than a chamber group but smaller than a full symphony orchestra.
The size suits baroque and classical repertoire and intimate venues: The chamber orchestra performed Mozart's divertimentos.
Many modern chamber orchestras operate without a conductor.
