Orchestral music is a genre that involves a large group of musicians playing together, typically in a concert hall. This ensemble, known as an orchestra, usually includes string instruments like violins and cellos, woodwinds such as flutes and clarinets, brass instruments like trumpets and trombones, and percussion instruments like drums and cymbals. The music performed by an orchestra can range from classical compositions by famous composers like Ludwig van Beethoven and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to contemporary works. Orchestral music is often characterized by its rich textures and dynamic contrasts, creating a powerful and emotional listening experience.
