if any, between a symphony orchestra and a philharmonic orchestra, is there a difference in instrumental line up, or is it repertoire? Then there are Concert orchestras, I get the impression that they may tend to play some music other than pure Classical.
Personally I can't say I've noticed a difference.
Bands do seem to be better defined, brass, military, jazz etc, but then there is the Hanover band which is an orchestra. |

Symphony orchestra and philharmonic orchestra are the same and oftentimes the terms are interchangeable. The term concert orchestra may sometimes be used (e.g., BBC Concert Orchestra; RTÉ Concert Orchestra)—no distinction is made on size of orchestra by use of this term, although their use is generally distinguished as for live concert. As such they are commonly chamber orchestras. |
