How do you say singer or musician in french?

Answer 1

I have often wondered about this very question because I speak French and am in a band. So I asked a French colleague at work who is into music and bands and stuff. His answer was: Je fais partie d'un groupe (and then follow with the type) eg rock, pop, traditionnel or possibly even just "musical" My mother used to speak French fluently and she was always talking orchestre, and indeed so did the chap at work but he agreed that from 3 - 8 players probably was too small for orchestre but it does not appear to have the huge connotations it would have in English.
