While the playing together metaphor is great, the orchestra metaphor breaks
because there is no conductor and no first chairs.
There are orchestras without conductors as well, e.g. the Orpheus

The Orpheus Ensemble is a chamber orchestra while AOO is more like a
symphony orchestra. This analogy is false anyway. A conductor is a kind
of dictator while a PMC chair should be a primus inter pares.
