Abstract | The participating musicians, their instruments and the music they perform are defining characteristics of instrumental amateur ensembles. The aim of this study was to map the instrumentation and repertoire of Dutch and Flemish amateur orchestras. Early in 2021, through a web survey, string and symphony orchestras (N = 67) in the Netherlands and Flanders (Belgium) shared insights about their musicians and repertoire. Findings show that the orchestras' instrumentation is derived from the standardised configuration of professional orchestras, but also depends on the availability of players. Difficulties in finding viola, double bass and several brass players emerges. The results shed light on the musical identities of the orchestras and their players who favour historical art music and, to a lesser extent, soundtrack over other genres. Only 18.2% of the pieces is written by a living composer. Although European composers have written the lion's share (85.7%) of the repertoire, Belgian and Dutch composers only account for a small percentage (6.1%). Only 1.7% is written by female composers.
