The Slovene Philharmonic String Chamber Orchestra consists of 14 musicians, all members of the Slovene Philharmonic Orchestra. Founded in 1993 under the initiative of Boris Šinigoj, it presents a wide array of compositions from all periods; special attention is paid to compositions by Slovene composers. During the past 10 years the ensemble has presented over 150 concerts in Slovenia and abroad. It has appeared at the Ljubljana Summer Festival, the Danubia Festival, Slovene Music Days, World Days of Music, Dubrovnik Summer Festival, Zadar Festival, Zagreb Summer Festival, Novi Sad Music Festival and Zagreb Baroque Festival. Because of its members' obligations to the Slovene Philharmonic Orchestra the ensemble cannot undertake many international tours, but concerts in Croatia, Austria and Italy have been very well received by audiences and music critics.

In recent years the Orchestra has worked closely with the National Gallery of Slovenia which has hosted a series of concerts entitled Harmony of the Spheres. The ensemble has also co-operated with several leading international soloists, including 'cellist Mischa Maisky, mezzo-soprano Marjana Lipovšek, pianist Dubravka Tomšič-Srebotnjak and flautist Irena Grafenauer.

The Slovene Philharmonic String Chamber Orchestra received the prestigious Prešeren Award in 1999 and the Župančič Award of the City of Ljubljana in 2004, and has recorded two CDs. Since 2003 Miran Kolbl has been its Artistic Director.
