The brass sit behind the strings, but in front of the percussion. Usually the French horns are behind the woodwinds, and the trumpets, trombones, and tuba are behind the violas, cellos, and string basses.

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.

What is the orchestra set up?

The front row is curved, and is made up of the first two chairs of 1st and 2nd violins, viola, and cello. The rest of the strings are in rows behind them, but angled outwards to the sides of the stage. In the center, behind the strings, are the woodwinds (first row is flute and oboe, second row is clarinet and bassoon). Behind that is the brass, often in one long row towards the back. Finally in the rear of the stage is all the percussion.
