A symphony is a piece of music written for a large ensemble, typically including a full string section, woodwinds, brass, and percussion. An orchestra is a group of musicians who perform together in a concert or opera performance. The members of a symphony orchestra are usually divided into sections such as strings, brass, and woodwinds, while those of an orchestra may be divided into different sections based on their instrument.
