===Academia Philharmonicorum===
The [[Slovene Philharmonics]] traces its illustrious heritage back to the [[Academia Philharmonicorum]], which was founded in Ljubljana in [[Established::1701]] on the model of the Italian academies. The Academy chose for its emblem the organ of its patron, St. Cecilia, and its seal incorporated the motto ''Receat, mentique perennia monstrat'' (It entertains, and reveals eternal things to the mind). Its members were drawn from the aristocracy and from the town's intelligentsia, and according to reports by contemporary chroniclers, after several years of practice and with a great deal of enthusiasm the Academy began staging performing symphonic compositions by European, particularly Italian Baroque masters.

By the end of the 18th century the Academy ceased to exist. In 1794 the Philharmonische Gesellschaft (Philharmonic Society) was established, one of the first institutions of this kind within the Habsburg empire. It grew out of the string quartet of non-professional musicians. The number of musician rose and in the begging of the 19th century the well-versed amateurs and professional musicians were able to perform works by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. In its desire for international input into its ambitious activities the Philharmonic Society sought prominent European musicians as honorary members. The first was Joseph Haydn who gratefully presented the Society with a score of his ''Missa in Tempore belli''. Next was Ludwig van Beethoven who sent a letter of thanks together with a transcript of the score for his Pastoral Symphony. At a later stage, honorary membership was gratefully accepted also by violinist Nicolò Paganini and by composers Johannes Brahms.

A very important phase in a three century-long history of the Slovene Philharmonics took place in the mid-19th century when a process of independent Slovene musical activities was initiated, leading to the foundation of the first independent Slovene Philharmonic Society (1908-1913) under the leadership of renown Czech conductor [[Václav Talich]].

===After the 2nd World war===
In the period between the two wars following Talich's departure, the activities of the Slovene Philharmonic Society were formally abandoned. However, in 1947, on the initiative of composer Marjan Kozina, conductor Samo Hubad and musicologist Vlado Golob, a resolution was passed on the formation of the Slovene Philharmonics, with a symphony orchestra, a mixed (until 1976) and youth choir (until 1952), a string quartet and an agency which organised concerts (this became independent in 1952). The first concert by the new Slovene Philharmonic Orchestra, led by Spanish conductor Salvador Bacarisse, took place on 13 January 1948.

In 1999 the Slovenian Chamber Chorus, which had been founded in 1991 as an independent body and led by [[Mirko Cuderman]] (assisted by [[Marko Vatovec]]), became part of the institution. Out of the orchetra grew also different chamber groups: [[Slowind Quintet]], [[Tartini String Quartet]] and [[Slovene Philharmonic String Chamber Orchestra]].
In 1999 the Slovene Chamber Choir, founded in 1991 by Dr. [[Mirko Cuderman]], was formally incorporated into the Slovene Philharmonics, facilitating more detailed and long-term planning both of the choir's own concert programme and of joint performances of the great vocal-instrumental works with the Slovene Philharmonic Orchestra.

The Slovene Philharmonic Orchestra is one of the leading orchestras in Central Europe, it traces its illustrious heritage back to the 18th Century. The Society's orchestra reached an impressive standard under the leadership of Czech conductor Václav Talich and became very well known, however following Talich’s departure its activity declined in the period between two 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 who left to became Music Director and Chief Conductor of the Symphony Orchestra Basel.

The site of today’s Philharmonic building was for decades dominated by the old Stanovsko gledališče (State Theatre). In 1887 the old theatre building was burnt down and new concert building was built in 1891. The preparations for the tercentenary of the Slovenian Philharmonic and its predecessors (2001/02), brought about a thorough renovation of the entire building. The restored building was inaugurated on 25 September 2001, while on 8 January 2003, on the three hundredth anniversary of the first documented performances, the newly installed organ resounded in the Great Hall for the first time.
  
Great many of Slovene and world famous musicians performed with the Orchestra: [[Irena Grafenauer]], [[Marjana Lipovšek]], [[Dubravka Tomšič Srebotnjak]], [[Bernarda Fink]], [[Igor Ozim]], [[Arthur Rubinstein]], [[Yehudi Menuhin]], [[David Oistrakh]], [[Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli]], [[Sviatoslav Richter]], [[Gidon Kremer]], [[Anne-Sophie Mutter]], [[Vadim Repin]], [[Ivo Pogorelić]], [[Lazar Berman]], [[Elisabeth Leonskaja]], [[John Ogdon]], [[Miklós Perényi]], [[Schlomo Mintz]], [[Heinz Holliger]], [[Julian Rachlin]], [[Sarah Chang]], [[Till Felner]], [[Sharon Kam]], [[Fazil Say]], [[Mario Brunello]], [[Zoltán Kocsis]], [[Håkan Hardenberger]], [[David Garrett]], etc.

Today performances are held at Slovene Philharmonic halls and more often at [[Cankarjev dom Culture and Congress Centre]]. The Slovene Philharmonic Hall itself incorporates two venues - the greater Kozinova dvorana (Kozina Hall) and the smaller Osterčeva dvorana (Osterc Hall).
  
From the late 70's on, Slovene Philharmonics have toured Europe, USA and Japan many times. During those tours they played in some of the most prestigious venues, as [[Carnegie Hall]] (New York City) and [[Musikverein]] (Vienna). Among the Philharmonics recent most successful tours and collaborations one finds the tour all over Switzerland, in Slovakia, Hungary, Austria, Croatia, France and Belgium, gala concert with [[Luciano Pavarotti]], as well as both Rome and Valencia performances accompaniing the great cellist [[Mstislav Rostropovich]]. Just couple of years before his death, the Orchestra found particular close cooperation with one of the most inspirative world conductors [[Carlos Kleiber]]. As Maestro Kleiber has later been buried in the Slovenian village of Konjšica near Litija in 2004 - together with his wife, former ballet dancer [[Stanislava Brezovar]] - his great conducting colleague Riccardo Muti chosed Slovene Philharmonics for the memorial gala that took place in both Ljubljana and Ravenna. On 21 June 2010, Ljubljana celebrates Carlos Kleiber's 80th birthday with [[Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra]] and [[Riccardo Muti]].

History

Academia Philharmonicorum

The Slovene Philharmonic traces its illustrious heritage back to the Academia Philharmonicorum, which was founded in Ljubljana in 1701 on the model of the Italian academies. The Academy chose for its emblem the organ of its patron, St. Cecilia, and its seal incorporated the motto Receat, mentique perennia monstrat (It entertains, and reveals eternal things to the mind). Its members were drawn from the aristocracy and from the town's intelligentsia, and according to reports by contemporary chroniclers, after several years of practice and with a great deal of enthusiasm the Academy began staging performing symphonic compositions by European, particularly Italian Baroque masters.

Habsburg empire

By the end of the 18th century the Academy ceased to exist. In 1794 the Philharmonische Gesellschaft (Philharmonic Society) was established, one of the first institutions of this kind within the Habsburg empire. It grew out of the string quartet of non-professional musicians. The number of musicians rose and in the beginning of the 19th century the well-versed amateurs and professional musicians were able to perform works by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. In its desire for international input into its ambitious activities the Philharmonic Society sought prominent European musicians as honorary members. The first was Joseph Haydn who gratefully presented the Society with a score of his Missa in Tempore belli. Next was Ludwig van Beethoven who sent a letter of thanks together with a transcript of the score for his Pastoral Symphony. At a later stage, honorary membership was gratefully accepted also by violinist Nicolò Paganini and by composer Johannes Brahms.

A very important phase in a three century-long history of the Slovene Philharmonic took place in the mid-19th century when a process of independent Slovene musical activities was initiated, leading to the foundation of the first independent Slovene Philharmonic Society (1908–1913) under the leadership of renown Czech conductor Václav Talich.

After the 2nd World war

In the period between the two wars following Talich's departure, the activities of the Slovene Philharmonic were formally abandoned, but there were several attempts at establishing orchestral body (amateur Orchestral Society of Musical Society and Ljubljana Philharmonic). However, in 1947, on the initiative of composer Marjan Kozina, conductor Samo Hubad and musicologist Vlado Golob, a resolution was passed on the formation of the Slovene Philharmonic, with a symphony orchestra, a mixed (until 1976) and youth choir (until 1952), a string quartet and an agency which organised concerts (this became independent in 1952). The first concert by the new Slovene Philharmonic Orchestra, led by Spanish conductor Salvador Bacarisse, took place on 13 January 1948.

In 1999 the Slovenian Chamber Chorus, which had been founded in 1991 as an independent body and led by Mirko Cuderman (assisted by Marko Vatovec), became part of the institution. Out of the orchetra grew also different chamber groups: Slowind Quintet, Tartini String Quartet and Slovene Philharmonic String Chamber Orchestra.

The first director of the institution was Marjan Kozina who was followed by Lucijan Marija Škerjanc, Marjan Lipovšek, Ciril Cvetko, Darijan Božič, Anton Kolar, Marijan Gabrijelčič, Boris Šinigoj and Mojca Menart. As new honorary members were among others elected composers Uroš Krek and Primož Ramovš, musicians Dubravka Tomšič-Srebotnjak and Marjana Lipovšek and conductors Milan Horvat and Carlos Kleiber.


Concert halls

The site of today’s Philharmonic building was for decades dominated by the old Stanovsko gledališče (State Theatre). In 1887 the old theatre building was burnt down and new concert building was built in 1891. The preparations for the tercentenary of the Slovenian Philharmonic and its predecessors (2001/02), brought about a thorough renovation of the entire building. The restored building was inaugurated on 25 September 2001, while on 8 January 2003, on the three hundredth anniversary of the first documented performances, the newly installed organ resounded in the Great Hall for the first time.

Today performances are held at Slovene Philharmonic halls and more often at Cankarjev dom Culture and Congress Centre. The Slovene Philharmonic Hall itself incorporates two venues - the greater Kozinova dvorana (Kozina Hall) and the smaller Osterčeva dvorana (Osterc Hall).
