The Academy of Music Symphony Orchestra was established in 1948 when the Academy itself was reorganised. Today it consists of students of all grades from the departments of string and wind instruments and percussion. The orchestra has 80 to 90 students from the ages of 18 to 24 years old; the majority of these are from Slovenia, but some are from Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia and Russia. For the last few years the orchestra has not had a permanent conductor, but its eminent guest conductors have included Danilo Švara, Uroš Prevoršek, Anton Nanut, Marko Letonja, Uroš Lajovic, Ciril Škerjanec, János Kovácz, Wellisar Gentscheff, René Gulikers and George Pehlivanian.
