Por que é masculine?

Orchestre is masculine in French. While it does derive from Latin "orchestra" (from Greek "ὀρχήστρα"), the reason for its masculine gender is more straightforward: French nouns ending in "-e" are typically feminine, but "orchestre" is an exception. It retained masculine gender likely due to its learned/technical nature as a word borrowed directly into French, or because it was treated as a masculine collective noun when adopted into French usage, overriding the typical "-e" feminine ending pattern.
