If you can balance the various worlds, one complements the other. I have found that playing chamber music, solo recitals, concerti with orchestra, or piano and chorus, has helped me to be a better musician overall. You have to then prioritize when you have too much on one plate--never take on more than you can physically handle and be prepared to do well. Another thought is, when you do collaborate in cities which also present solo recitals and orchestral engagements, you might wish to invite the administrators from both camps. This way, they can meet you and see/hear you perform. Good luck! Three words of suggestion: do it all. If you can balance the various worlds, one complements the other.
