A musical ensemble is a group of musicians who come together to perform music. This can include various types of groups, such as orchestras, bands, choirs, or smaller chamber groups. Each member plays a specific instrument or sings, contributing to the overall sound and harmony of the performance. Ensembles can vary in size and style, from a soloist accompanied by a pianist to large orchestras with dozens of musicians. They often perform a wide range of music, including classical, jazz, and contemporary pieces, showcasing the talents of individual musicians while creating a cohesive musical experience.
