Musicians carrying out art chores (9)
I believe the answer is:
orchestra
'musicians' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'out art chores' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters.
'art'+'chores'='artchores'
'artchores' anagrammed gives 'ORCHESTRA'.
'carrying' is the link.
(Other definitions for orchestra that I've seen before include "Large band playing classical music" , "alternative to the organ" , "bandsmen?" , "Group of musicians found on cart-horse" , "Sort of stall" .)
