| . | THE ORCHESTRA Young People's Concerts A symphony orchestra is a group of musicians who play classical music. Usually there are between 35 and 110 players, led by a conductor. The orchestra is made up of four "families" of instruments: strings, woodwind, brass, and percussion. Like members of your own family, the members of instrument families share a certain similar look, but as they get larger, their voices get lower. -- Map of the Orchestra -- Featured Instruments - YPC 2006 |
