What is Chamber Music?
A chamber music ensemble is a small group of musicians who perform on their instruments together, generally without a conductor. Each musician in the group is the only one on a part.
Examples of chamber music ensembles:
– String quartet (two violins, viola, cello)
– Woodwind quintets (flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn)
– Brass quintet (horn, two trumpets, trombone, tuba)
– Piano trios (violin, cello, piano)
– Jazz combo
