Do you have to be a certain age to join the orchestra?

It depends on the orchestra. There are orchestras designed for kids, such as the Chicago Symphony Youth Orchestra, but children can often join local orchestras if they are good enough. Children don't generally join large professional orchestras due to their ability as well as the work load, but there isn't always a specific age you have to be. Most people in large professional orchestras are well past college age, although there are exceptions such as Keith Buncke, who joined the CSO when he was 21. Obviously prodigies can perform with great orchestras at young ages so there isn't exactly an age limit.


Can you describe the evolution of the orchestra from the Baroque to the Modern Era?

Generally, the formation of orchestras in each of four periods can be summarized :Baroque orchestras had from 10 to 30 players, primarily strings.Classical orchestras used 30 to 60 players in four sections: strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion.Romantic orchestras had as many as 100 players or more, and featured greater use of brass and piano.Modern orchestras are a bit smaller than in the Romantic Era (symphony and other very large orchestras still exist). Some may focus on the unique (or even bizarre) sounds of individual instruments.
