The General Staff Orchestra of the Armed Forces of Transnistria (Russian:Оркестр Главного штаба Вооружённых сил ПМР) is the central military orchestra of the Military of Transnistria.

History

The General Staff Orchestra of the Armed Forces of Transnistria was established by the Order of the Minister of Defense on March 29, 1993. At that time it was led by Vladimir Simachenko who began the formation of the staff and the organization of the creative team. The first serious test of the military orchestra was at a military parade dedicated to the third anniversary of the founding of Transnistria. In a short time, the orchestra became famous and recognizable. In 1997, Vitaly Voynov was appointed chief of the Orchestra of the General Staff of the Armed Forces.[1] This period in the orchestra has been known as a turning point. For the first time during his tenure, experienced musicians began to join the orchestra. Most of the new musicians have devoted more than one year to the military orchestra service in the Russian, Moldovan, and Ukrainian armies. The repertoire of the orchestra includes over 500 works by classical composers, as well as contemporary authors and arrangers.[2][3][4]
