History

Academia Philharmonicorum (1701) and Philharmonic Society (1794) are 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 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 Matačič, Uroš Lajovic, Milan Horvat, and from 1995 through to 2004 Marko Letonja. From 2005 until 2008 the Orchestra has been led by American conductor George Pehlivanian, who became first foreign conductor of the orchestra. He was followed by the French conductor Emmanuel Villaume.


Programme

Orchestra performs nearly 40 subscription concerts in the Gallus Hall at Cankarjev dom Culture and Congress Centre per year (it covers two concert series, named by the colours orange and blue). It prepares also concerts on special occasions (New Year's concert, tours, national celebrations) and musical matinees for young audiences. The Orchestra also has over 40 CD recordings to its credit.

Orchestra plays predominantly standard repertoire of classical music, reaching from classical masters to the great composers of 20th century. It is known for the performances of Slavic music (Dvorak, Tchaikovsky) and monumental symphonic opus of Gustav Mahler. Each year they perform also new pieces by Slovene contemporary composers.

In recent years the Orchestra has reaffirmed its reputation on numerous tours to Europe (Vienna, Rome, Florence, Salzburg, Venice, Zurich, Bern, Geneva, Brussels, Madrid, St Petersburg, Moscow, Bucharest, Birmingham) and the United States, and has also performed at many great international festivals (Wiener Festwochen, Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Prague Summer, Warsaw Autumn, Dubrovnik Summer Festival, Varaždin Baroque Evenings festival). Guest performers have included many world-famous artists, including conductors Rudolf Barshai, Serge Baudo, Jiří Bělohlávek, Theodor Guschlbauer, Leopold Hager, Hartmut Haenchen, Heinz Holliger, Dmitri Kitajenko, Carlos Kleiber, Paul Kletzki, Zubin Mehta, Riccardo Muti, Kurt Sanderling, Simone Young and the best Slovene and foreign soloists including Irena Grafenauer, Marjana Lipovšek, Igor Ozim, Dubravka Tomšič-Srebotnjak, Arthuro Benedetti Michelangeli, Boris Berezovsky, Lazar Berman, Sarah Chang, Håkan Hardenberger, Heinz Holliger, Zoltán Kocsis, Stephen Kovacevich, Gidon Kremer, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Luciano Pavarotti, Ivo Pogorelich, Dezsö Ranki, Vadim Repin, Mstislav Rostropovich, Svjatoslav Richter, Grygory Sokolov, Alexander Toradze and Julian Rachlin.
