THE majestic music played by Nobat Diraja Perak (the Royal Orchestra of Perak) will reverberate through the Balairung Seri (Throne Room) at Istana Negara today during the installation ceremony of His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, as the 17th Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

The head of the orchestra, Abdul Aziz Yahya, said that the occasion is especially significant, as the ensemble had also performed at the wedding of Sultan Ibrahim and Her Majesty Raja Zarith Sofiah, Queen of Malaysia, at Istana Iskandariah on Sept 22, 1982.
