Background
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.
Repertoire and performances
The orchestra's repertoire includes well-known symphony orchestra compositions and vocal-instrumental works ranging from Baroque, Classical and Romantic to 20th-century music. It has performed in Vienna (presenting music by Ramovš, Tomasi and Berlioz), in Zagreb (performing music by Krek, Čajkovski, Šostakovič), in Gorizia (performing music by Osterc, Chopin, Čajkovski) and in some Slovene cities (performing music by Beethoven, Bravničar, Mozart, Haydn, Grieg, Mendelssohn amongst others).
International participation
The orchestra prepares two or three projects annually and stages a few concerts a year. In 2005 it participated with Lebanese-Armenian conductor G. Pehlivanian. In 2010 members of the Symphony orchestra participated in the international project Concert of friendship which took place in Trieste under the direction of R. Muti.
