History
The Academia Philharmonicorum (1701) and the Philharmonic Society (1794) were the forerunners of the first Slovene Philharmonic Society which was founded in 1908. The society's orchestra reached an impressive standard under the leadership of Czech conductor Václav Talich, however following Talich's departure its activity declined in the period between the two world wars. The orchestra was re-established in 1947 and was thereafter led by many renowned conductors, among them Bogo Leskovic, Samo Hubad, Oskar Danon, Lovro Matačić, Uroš Lajovic, Milan Horvat, and from 1995 through to 2004 Marko Letonja. From 2005 until 2008 the orchestra was led by American conductor George Pehlivanian, who became the first foreign conductor of the orchestra, followed by the French conductor Emmanuel Villaume (2008–2013) and then by the Canadian conductor Keri-Lynn Wilson (2013–2015). Uroš Lajovic was a conductor for 2 years (2015–2017), then Philipp von Steinaecker (2019–2020).
Programme
The Slovene Philharmonic Orchestra performs nearly 40 subscription concerts in the Gallus Hall at Cankarjev dom Culture and Congress Centre per year (it covers two subscription concert series, named by the colours orange and blue). It prepares also concerts on special occasions (a New Year's concert, tours, national celebrations) and musical matinees for young audiences. The Orchestra also has over 40 CD recordings to its credit.
