Summarize this article for a 10 year old
The Myanmar National Symphony Orchestra is the national orchestra of Burma (Myanmar). Founded in 2001, the state-owned Yangon-based orchestra was allowed to give just one public concert of classical music in its first ten years of existence. After former Prime Minister General Khin Nyunt, the orchestra's principal founding supporter, was freed from house arrest, the ban was lifted in January 2012. It gave two public performances in July 2012 and made its international debut at Cambodia's Angkor Wat Temple in December 2013. Since 2014, the orchestra has been growing in capacity through a detailed exploration of the Beethoven symphonies.
