I would say no because an orchestra consists if string instruments (preferably violins, cellos, etc.) I myself am a sax player and saxophones play in bands, not orchrestras.

- Sax Master

In a symphony orchestra, saxophones play in the woodwind section. Orchestras have string sections, woodwinds, brass and percussion.

It was in my orchestra. We had all the string instruments, also horned instruments. I played french horn, we had a few sax players as well as clarinets & flutes. Sometimes we practiced separate, but we did performances together , as one band
