string ensemble
Chamber music performers
A string ensemble is a group of musicians playing stringed instruments together, typically violins, violas, cellos, and double basses.
The term usually implies a smaller group than a full orchestra—perhaps a dozen players rather than sixty.
The string ensemble performed Bach's Brandenburg Concertos.
String quartets and chamber orchestras fall under this umbrella.
