Who sits in the front row of the orchestra?

"First chair" is a term used in orchestras to designate the principal performer in each of its sections; that is, the principal performer for violas, cellos, oboes, etc. Violins, on the other hand, do no have a first chair - they have the concertmaster, who has special duties in the course of an orchestral performance. Where a first chair is responsible for tuning his/her section, the concertmaster is responsible for tuning the entire orchestra. The first chair for string sections, where two people share a single music stand, does not turn the pages of a music sheet. This duty belongs to the person sitting next to them (sometimes called the "inside" chair). To be a first chair, one must exhibit exceptional skill with their instrument and be a leader to the others in their section. This person will perform the solo parts written for his/her instrument; a first cello (or first cellist), for example, will play the special cello parts unless a special guest soloist is in attendance.
