The team was founded in 1924 by Chuvash professional music composers and choral conductors F.P.
Its leaders began to gather and process Chuvash folk songs, performing them for the public in Chuvashia and throughout Russia.
The first artistic director was a young composer and conductor A.G. Orlov-Shuzm (1914–1996).
Under his leadership the ensemble performed in Moscow, music and dance of the RSFSR peoples.
The Ensemble stayed three-months at the Bryansk and Kalinin Fronts in the winter of 1943.
