Abstract
This article explores the historical evolution and structural transformation of state orchestras in Uzbekistan, focusing on the integration of traditional Eastern musical foundations with Western symphonic academicism. Through a retrospective lens, the study identifies the key stages of aesthetic synthesis that emerged during the 20th and 21st centuries. The research highlights how national instruments and melodic structures (Maqom) have been adapted into the polyphonic orchestral framework, creating a unique “Uzbek school” of orchestral performance. The findings emphasize the role of this cultural symbiosis in preserving national identity while ensuring global artistic relevance.
