Part 3/8:
The term "orchestra" itself has evolved significantly over time. Originally referring to a semicircular space in ancient Greek theaters where dancers performed, the word transitioned in meaning to encompass both the musicians and the physical space they occupy in modern concerts. This fascinating shift invites reflections on how language evolves alongside cultural practices.
In a playful twist, Rob explains the Japanese concept of karaoke, a term that translates to "empty orchestra." This fun fact adds another layer to the understanding of musical gatherings, bridging different cultures through language.
