 The new state budget has allocated
MNT 167 million for the state orchestra.
Formally called the Great State
Orchestra, it was created last year by the government. It employs 120
musicians and will perform a concert during the Naadam national holiday
to run July 11-12.
Money will be spent this year
on upgrading musical instruments and purchasing clothing for musicians
to wear during concerts.
Historians note that the state
orchestra also existed during the reign of Khubilai Khan. More than
400 musicians, at that time, participated in state events and important
ceremonies.
