philharmonics
Full classical orchestras
Philharmonics are symphony orchestras, typically large ensembles performing classical music.
The term appears most often in proper names: the New York Philharmonic, the Berlin Philharmonic.
Philharmonic literally means "loving harmony," and the word distinguishes these orchestras as devoted to symphonic repertoire.
A philharmonic can also refer to a concert or organization associated with such an orchestra.
