A group of musicians playing different instruments is commonly referred to as an "ensemble." Depending on the size and type of the group, it can also be called a "band," "orchestra," "quartet," or "band," among other terms. Each term reflects the specific arrangement and instrumentation of the musicians involved.

Typically, a "band" is just a group of people. Musically, however, a "band" is a group of people collaborating on music. Usually, they will play different instruments. If they all sing, but do not play other instruments, then it is a "singing group". The most common combination of instruments in a band is a lead vocalist (sometimes with back-up singers that are also playing different instruments, but not always), guitarist, bassist, and drums. Sometimes there will be a keyboardist. Most bands are associated with the "rock" music label, however, genres for them are not necessarily restricted to this.
A group of Musical Instruments is called a consort.
A consort is a group of instruments playing together. There are two types of consorts: a) whole consort, which consists of instruments all from the same family, and b) broken consort, which has instruments from more than one family. A renaissance consort would likely be a consort playing music from the renaissance period, with instruments that date back to that period.
