Summary/Abstract: In public, the „concert“ orchestra is once called „symphonic“, other times „philharmonic“. There are also a number of orchestras that have neither a „symphony“ nor an „orchestra“ in their name. The topic is a particular one that, due to the various traditions in different countries, manages to confuse even exceptional professional musicians.
