or \"as a soloist as well as in ensembles\"... (a bit more literal, but not the first choice choice if it were me).

Note: In classical music circles, \"ensemble\" is a general term referring to group performances from various musical periods (and in groups of any size). I believe it is the more appropriate chocie in this context.
\"Chamber music\", while potentially a good alternative, implies a very specific type of ensemble with 2-5 musicians performing music from the Baroque and early classical periods (i.e. 17th century to the end of the 18th century). Overall it is a more specific term. It generally does not include music of the Romantic period and beyond.
The Spanish equivalent is \"música de cámara\"... an equally focused and specific term. Be careful... if this is an academic history or resume of the performer, you would not want to use too specific a term.
Good luck and happy translating!

as a soloist and also in chamber groups
depends on context, if it is classical music it will refer to chamber music

Dr Andrew Read
: I think this is probably the best answer. Slight rephrase to "both as... and in..." It could possibly refer to orchestral playing, but then again "recitals", certainly in English, always refers to chamber music, ie. not many players.

: "chamber music" has a very nice "ring" to it, but... I am confident that "ensemble" is better matched to a CV or life history (see explanation)

Where does it say what kind of music or instrument this person plays? Since when are "recitals" just for classical music?
