An orchestra, a concert band, a choir, a marching band, a jazz ensemble. Most ensembles with more than 10 players and a conductor are not considered chamber groups, although this varies. For example, Igor Stravinsky's Octet for Winds is a chamber work, but it is often conducted. Also, a chamber orchestra or chamber choir can have up to 20 players and a conductor and can still be considered a chamber group.
