The function and status of the military orchestra have not changed for almost 200 years. The Military Orchestra became the orchestra of the President of the Slovak Republic in 1993 and has since participated in welcoming ceremonies for many leading representatives and delegations of governments from around the world. An important segment of the existence of the military orchestra in the past was the representation of the Armed Forces of the Slovak Republic abroad. The military orchestra, based in Bratislava, has participated in many military music festivals in Europe and currently has 50 members. The program, which will be presented to the Niš audience, will include original and folk melodies from Slovakia.
