Founded in 1991 within the Slovene Philharmonics, the Slovene Chamber Choir is the only choir in Slovenia which is made up of paid, professional singers.

The Choir annually gives six a cappella or vocal-instrumental concerts as part of a subscription series at the Slovene Philharmonics Halls, led by native or foreign conductors. It also performs vocal-instrumental concerts organised and accompanied by the RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra, as well as other concert appearances in co-operation with various Slovene musical institutions around the country.

The Choir has performed numerous concerts abroad, including performances in Aquileia, Cividale, Graz, Innsbruck, Budapest, Milano, Zagreb, Krems, Nürnberg, Varaždin, Salzburg, Itzehoe, Eutin, Amsterdam and Utrecht. In June 2000 the Choir performed Mahler's Second Symphony with the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Hartmut Haenchen.

The Choir received the Ivan Lukačić Award for best interpreter of Baroque music at the Varaždin Baroque Evenings in 1995 and again in 2000. Its discography includes 15 CDs of Slovene Choir Music and 28 CDs of Slovene sacral music (Eucharistic songs, Fasting songs, Masses, Christmas songs, Festive Songs, Hymns).
