Quintet
Cultural Ensemble
A quintet often refers to groups in classical or jazz music, highlighting cultural sophistication.

Not Always Music
Although commonly musical, quintets can be any group of five, like athletes or characters in a book.

Formal Use
The term 'quintet' is formal, so it's usually not used in casual conversation about groups of five.
