string ensembles
Chamber music performers
String ensembles are groups of musicians playing stringed instruments together—typically violins, violas, cellos, and double basses.
The term covers everything from string quartets to full string orchestras.
Unlike orchestras proper, string ensembles exclude winds and percussion: The string ensemble performed Bach's Air on the G String.
Chamber music relies heavily on such groupings.
