RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra was established in 1955 as the Slovene Radio and Television Symphony Orchestra under the leadership of violin virtuoso and composer Uroš Prevoršek.

Thereafter the orchestra embarked upon various concert tours in Europe and beyond, earning recognition in America in 1984 and 1985. In September 2000 Lior Shambadal became its Artistic Director, and since 2003 the Orchestra has been led by Chief Conductor David de Villiers.
