Crossword Genius

Artist bringing in name for mass performance piece (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nonet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'piece' is the definition.
(I have seen 'musical piece' mean 'nonet' so perhaps 'piece' could also mean 'nonet')

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nonet that I've seen before include "Composition for nine players" , "baseball team" , "Music for nine instruments or voices" , "Band's" , "Band of nine?" .)
