string ensembles

A string ensemble is a group of musicians who perform together using stringed instruments like violins, violas, cellos, and basses. Each instrument has a unique sound and role, contributing to a rich, harmonious blend. The ensemble can vary in size from a small string quartet to a large orchestra. They typically perform classical music, but can also play in genres like jazz or pop. The musicians coordinate their playing through rehearsals and a conductor (in larger groups), ensuring timing, balance, and expression create a unified, expressive sound.
