Where do the viola players sit in a seating chart of the traditional symphony orchestra?

Answer 1

It depends on the size of the orchestra. If you have a larger orchestra, there will be more 1st violins. If you have a smaller orchestra, there will be less 1st violins. Also, it depends on how the conductor decides to split the violins. The conductor may try to split the violins evenly or have one section of violins that is bigger than the other section(s) of violins.

Answer 2

To the left of the conductor, usually in several rows.

The Violas are to the right of the conductor.
The first violins occupy the desks closest to the audience on the left side of the stage (from the audience's point of view). The second violins may occupy the set of desks next to the first violins, or the desks closest to the audience on the right side of the stage, depending on the conductor's wishes.
Looking at the stage from the seating area, the Violin section is to the conductor's left.
The violin belongs to the string section of an orchestra, like a Trumpet belongs to the brass section and a Clarinet belongs to the woodwind section.
In a standard orchestral layout, First Violins sit to the left of the Conductor at the edge and Second Violins sit to the right of them, slightly to the Conductor's left.
The violin can be located where ever the director wants it..if it is just in a strings orchestra, it will most likely be on the front row
From a conductors point of view, the violin is usually on the left of the conductors stand. If you are reading left to right from a players view however, the order should be bass in the back, far left viola, next to viola cello, then second violins, and finally first violins.
