Orchestre symphonique

An "orchestre symphonique" is a large ensemble of musicians who perform classical music together. It typically includes string instruments (like violins and cellos), woodwinds (flutes, clarinets), brass (trumpets, trombones), and percussion (drums, timpani). Led by a conductor, the orchestra plays composed pieces that showcase a wide range of musical textures and emotions. Its purpose is to interpret and perform symphonies and other large-scale works, creating a rich, harmonious sound that captures the complexity and beauty of the composer’s intentions.
