Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ The State Morin Khuur Ensemble will stage a grand concert in celebration of its 25th anniversary at the Central Cultural Palace this Saturday.
On October 16, the Ensemble artists briefed the press on the upcoming concert and other events to be held in the margins of the anniversary.
Since its foundation in 1992, the State Morin Khuur Ensemble of Mongolia has made weighing contributions to the promotion of Morin Khuur, traditional musical instrument and a priceless cultural heritage, within and beyond Mongolia.
“We aim to demonstrate the level of professionalism of Morin Khuur players at this concert. What matters the most is how a musical piece is delivered, rather than which piece it is,” said Z.Khosbayar, Head of Composition of the Ensemble at the press conference.
The Ensemble has released several new works upon the anniversary, which will be performed at the 25th Anniversary Concert on October 21. Directed by composer N.Jantsannorov, State Prize Laureate and People’s Artist, the concert will play performances of the best musical pieces from the Ensemble’s repertoire from the last five years, featuring folk, classic and pop artists.
