A work for orchestra and solo instrument is called a concerto.
A concerto is a work in three movements, rather than the four movements of a symphony, in which a solo instrument or ensemble is accompanied by an orchestra. The concerto developed earlier than the symphony. As in the symphony, the first movement of the classical concerto is generally in sonata-allegro form, followed by a slow movement and a finale usually in rondo form. The concerto had arisen in the Baroque period, in two types. One was the concerto grosso, in which a small ensemble within the orchestra is contrasted to and accompanied by the full complement. The other was the solo concerto as described.

You may need to rephrase your question to get the answer you're looking for. By definition, solo means alone and ensemble means a group (of no specific number)...so there's no such thing as "solo ensemble." A group of two is a duo, three is a trio, four is a quartet, five a quintet, six a sextet, seven a septet, eight an octet, nine a nonet. Not sure if there's a specific term for a musical group of ten...maybe a dectet.
Since the sitar was becoming very popular it was mostly played with a country band or a solo ensemble.
I believe the song is called "One Day More" and the melody structure is: Jean Valjean (solo), then Marius and Cosette (duet), then Eponine (solo) with Marius and Cosette singing underneath, then a "call and response" type thing between Enjolras and Marius, then Javert (solo), then a duet between the Thenardiers, then the entire ensemble comes in, with the various solos/duets singing underneath the ensemble.
