A full size
orchestra is called either a "symphony orchestra" or a "philharmonic
orchestra"; these prefixes do not necessarily indicate any strict
difference in instrumentation, but can be useful to distinguish different
ensembles based in the same city (for instance, the London Symphony
Orchestra and the London Philharmonic Orchestra). A symphony orchestra will
usually have over eighty musicians on its roster, in some cases over a
hundred, but the actual number of musicians employed in a particular
performance may vary according to the work being played, and the size of the
venue.
