Presidential Band of the Republic of Moldova

The Presidential Band of the Republic of Moldova (Moldovan:Orchestra prezidențială a Republicii Moldova) is the main military band of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Moldova (also known as the Moldovan National Army), specifically serving the President of Moldova in his/her position as commander in chief. The band plays at welcome ceremonies of foreign officials, state ceremonies, parades, accreditation ceremonies of ambassadors, and various community events.

The current commander of the orchestra is Lieutenant Colonel Leonid Vozniuc, who is the director of the all the military bands in the armed forces. The orchestra, which currently consists of 110 musicians, has performed in international festivals in Germany, Russia, Belgium and Romania.
