In classical music, a quartet usually refers to four people who play the same or similar instruments; that's clearly not the case here (although I'm sure somebody somewhere wrote a composition for piano, harp, bass, and whatever that brass instrument is supposed to be). And chamber orchestras can be much smaller than philarmonic orchestras, though I'll admit four people is a little small for the term. How about "four-pony musical ensemble" as a compromise and to avoid further debate about a more specific term?
