orchestral performance
Live ensemble playing
An orchestral performance is a concert given by an orchestra—a large ensemble of string, wind, brass, and percussion instruments playing together under a conductor.
The term emphasizes the live event rather than a recording: We attended an orchestral performance of Beethoven's Fifth.
It may also describe the soundtrack version of a piece originally written for smaller forces.
