Minister of Defense Kalle Laanet (Reform) wrote a proposal to the interior and culture ministers to create a joint orchestra out of the Estonian Defense Forces' (EDF) and Police and Border Guard Board's (PPA) orchestras, which will continue administratively as part of the Estonian War Museum.
"It is important that ceremonial events of the EDF and PPA, along with the president and foreign services, could be organized with dignity going forward and the orchestra is undoubtedly a part of that," Laanet said via a defense ministry press release.
The minister said the new work organization solution would give the orchestra better options to produce and develop top-level wind music.
