Programmes to include tune arranged for string players (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lutenists

'string players' is the definition.
(people who play lutes)

'programmes to include tune arranged' is the wordplay.
'programmes' becomes 'lists' (a programme is a list of performances).
'to include' indicates putting letters inside.
'arranged' is an anagram indicator.
'tune' with letters rearranged gives 'uten'.
'lists' going around 'uten' is 'LUTENISTS'.

'for' acts as a link.
