Answer:

Although there is never a fixed number of players in an orchestra the number tends to range from about 60 to 100 members. Many factors affect the amount of members an orchestra consists of such as venue, the musical piece, instruments, participants, and occasionally salary.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

A full-scale orchestra playing a symphony includes at least 90 musicians, while a smaller orchestra playing a chamber piece ranges from 15 to 45. Sections of the orchestra can perform separately—a string orchestra, for example, includes about 60 musicians.
