THE commemorative ceremony and music festival for Myanmar Music Day will be celebrated at the National Theatre on 27 June, according to the Myanmar Music Association (Central).

The event is supported by the Ministry of Information and the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Culture. This annual celebration will be broadcast on Myanma Radio and Television (MRTV).

Additionally, nine categories of music awards, including Myanmar traditional, studio, modern, and international music, will be presented at the inaugural Music Academy event in Nay Pyi Taw this October.

Myanmar Music Day originated from the 2nd Conference of the Doh Burma Asiayone, held on 27 June 1936 in Myingyan Township. At this conference, YMB Saya Tin composed the song ‘Doh Bamar’, which was selected as the national anthem. That day was designated Myanmar Music Day.
