small ensemble
Few musicians together
A small ensemble is a musical group with relatively few performers—typically two to about ten musicians playing or singing together.
The term distinguishes these intimate groupings from orchestras or large choirs: She performs with a small ensemble specializing in Baroque music.
Chamber music groups, string quartets, and jazz combos are all small ensembles.
