| | Welcome to Orchestra.com |
 | | An orchestra is a musical ensemble used most often in classical music. | | | The most frequently performed repertoire for a symphony orchestra is Western classical music or opera. | | | A full size orchestra may sometimes be called a "symphony orchestra" or "philharmonic orchestra"; these prefixes do not indicate any difference either to the instrumental content or role of the orchestra, but can be useful to distinguish different orchestras based in the same city (for instance, the London Symphony Orchestra and the London Philharmonic Orchestra). |

| | Ulster Orchestra Reviews |
| | The orchestra was equally listless in Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante for violin and viola. | | | Dmitry Sitkovetsky, who conducted the Ulster Orchestra's programme, doubles as a violinist, a role he resumed for the two central works in the concert, Mozart's E flat Sinfonia concertante and Arvo Part's Fratres. | | | Montgomery showed a keen understanding of the possibilities of this music and with the complete co-operation of the orchestra gave us a dedicated performance that was most rewarding. |

| | Epic Records signed the band to a record deal in 1974 and their eponymous album was released late that year. | | | She took the lead on "Fay Wray," lending genuine emotion to the song, and also contributed narration to "Love Is Not Enough," which is perhaps my favorite song from the album. | | | I would especially like to thank Don for his help in answering some questions I had about the group's album, particularly the vexing question of exactly which songs were added to the original album at the request of Bruce Lundvall, President of CBS Records. |

| | HOASM: The Mannheim School |
| | The orchestra was not founded by Stamitz; it came together in 1720 when the musicians from the disbanded electoral orchestras at Innsbruck and Düsseldorf assembled at Mannheim. | | | Clearly, however, its pan-European character was not the only factor to which this orchestra owed the fame which it eventually acquired. | | | He possessed authority coupled with extensive powers of suggestion; apparently he had a natural talent for inspiring those around him to take a decisive step forward following a period of only hesitant development, a step which led to a new era of concert music. |
