The Academy of Music Symphony Orchestra was established in 1948 when the Academy itself was reorganised.
The orchestra's repertoire includes well-known symphony orchestra compositions and vocal-instrumental works ranging from Baroque, Classical and Romantic to 20th-century music. It has performed in Vienna (presenting music by Ramovš, Tomasi and Berlioz), in Zagreb (performing music by Krek, Čajkovski, Šostakovič), in Gorizia (performing music by Osterc, Chopin, Čajkovski) and in some Slovene cities (performing music by Beethoven, Bravničar, Mozart, Haydn, Grieg, Mendelssohn amongst others).
The orchestra prepares two or three projects annually and stages a few concerts a year. In 2005 it participated with Lebanese-Armenian conductor G. Pehlivanian. In 2010 members of the Symphony orchestra participated in the international project Concert of friendship which took place in Trieste under the direction of R. Muti.
In August 2004 the orchestra received an award at the international festival of European youth orchestras Young Euro Classics in Berlin, presenting compositions by Alojz Srebotnjak, Nina Šenk and D. Šostakovič. At the same event the European Composer's Award was conferred on young Slovene composer Nina Šenk.
