Programme
The Orchestra has a broad repertoire which ranges from baroque to contemporary symphonic music, opera, oratorio and cantata, theatre and film music, with an emphasis on works written by Slovene composers. Under the baton of Anton Nanut the orchestra performed to great acclaim the whole cycle of Mahler symphonies. Orchestra's recordings have been broadcast on many RTV radio and TV programmes and its discography is now quite substantial, numbering more than 150 CDs to date.
While the Orchestra's major activity is recording, it continues to give concerts on a regular basis. The orchestra gives regular concert series, consisting of eight concert per year, in the Gallus Hall of Cankarjev dom Culture and Congress Centre. Each year it prepares also the series of matinee concerts, devoted to music of Mozart in the Slovene Philharmonics Hall.
In last years the orchestra received great amount of publicity by appearing at a concert with the acclaimed Slovene rock and pop musician. In 2004 they gave the concert wit the rock group Siddharta and later followed the concerts with Neisha, Jan Plestenjak and group Dan D.

Alvarez, M. Maisky, A. Ciccolini, R. Lupu, I. Pogorelich, M. Bekavac, I. Grafenauer, M. Lipovšek, B. Fink). In the 1990s the orchestra appeared at the Venice Biennale and the Trieste Contemporanea.

They appeared at the Wien Modern Festival, and the Lange Nacht der neuen Klaenge events of April 2000 and March 2001 under conductor Johannes Kalitzke. In 2005 the orchestra played ath the annual Mahler Festival at Toblach (Italy) and few last seasons they regularly perform in great concert hall Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. More recently the Orchestra was involved in a successful collaboration with the Canadian dance company Compagnie Marie Chuinard.
