The Representative Artistic Ensemble of the Polish Army has included the Concert Orchestra since 2004, which has undergone various stages of artistic development since the beginning of its existence, perfecting its artistic profile and enriching its instruments and repertoire, which allowed it to achieve not only the purity and softness of sound of a symphony orchestra, but also to expand its performance and program possibilities. The orchestra consists of three ensembles: a wind quintet, a clarinet quartet and an entertainment ensemble. It can boast the number of over 10 thousand concerts applauded by an audience of millions, recordings of several dozen albums, television and radio programs, as well as recordings for films with participation on the set. For its artistic activity, it has been honored, among others, with the Award of the Minister of National Defense and the Award of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage.
