| 释义 | orchestra (once / 341 pages) n If you love classical music concerts led by a conductor, with a big sound and plenty of violins, you're an orchestra fan. An orchestra features many different kinds of instruments, almost always including those with strings such as violas and cellos. Sometimes this group of musicians is called a "symphony orchestra," and it's directed by a conductor with a baton. The word orchestra comes from the actual space in which an orchestra plays; the Greek orkhestra means "a space where a chorus of dancers performs," from orkheisthai, "to dance."
