A symphony orchestra is an ensemble of musicians who play together in order to produce music. The members of the orchestra typically include a number of different instruments, such as stringed instruments like violins and cellos, woodwinds like clarinets and oboes, brass instruments like trumpets and trombones, and percussion instruments like drums and cymbals. In addition, there may be other instrumentalists such as pianists or guitarists playing alongside the orchestra.
