The leading group active in the Philharmonic is the Academic Symphony Orchestra.

The Kharkiv Philharmonic is one of the leading organizations of its kind in Ukraine, and is an active promoter of the best examples of classical music, contemporary music, and Ukrainian folk and classical music. It devotes a great deal of attention to young people, and makes a significant contribution to the cultural life of Ukraine. == Academic Symphony Orchestra of the Kharkiv Philharmonic == The orchestra has more than one hundred years of history behind it. In October 1929 it became a leading group within Ukrainian Broadcasting Committee, and after the founding of the Kharkiv Philharmonic Society it was granted official status as a Philharmonic. The first decade of the orchestra's existence was marked by collaborations with famous conductors Kurt Sanderling and Guido Adler, Fritz Stiedry, and Eugen Szenkar (Hungary). Natan Rakhlin and David Oistrakh started their career with this orchestra. Throughout the orchestra's history, brilliant musicians have performed with it, including Anton Rubinstein, Henrih Neigauz, Sviatoslav Richter, Emil Gilels, Aram Khachaturian, Mstislav Rostropovich, Rudolf Kehrer, Vladimir Krainev, Dmitri Shostakovich, Vakhtang Jordania, Mikhail Pletnev, Vladimir Spivakov, Dimitri Bashkirov, Daniel Kramer, Sergey Stadler, Alexander Kniazev, Alain Daboncourt, James Oliverio, Sayaka Shoji, Ernest Hoetzl, Anton Sorokow, Alexander Gavrylyuk, Krzysztof Penderecki and many others.

In 2001 Yuriy Yanko, holder of the title "Honoured Worker of the Arts of Ukraine", and a prize-winner in The International Vakhtang Jordania Conducting Competition, was appointed music director and principal conductor of the Kharkiv Philharmonic Orchestra. His clear gestures, his emotionality, his artistry, and his exactingness with the orchestra mark him as one of the best Ukrainian conductors. The Kharkiv Philharmonic Orchestra participates regularly in international forums of classical music such as the “Kyiv Music Fest”, the “Kharkiv Assembly”, “Music – Our Common Home”, “Sergey Rakhmaninov and Ukrainian Culture”, “The International Vladimir Krainev Young Pianists Competition”, “The International Young Pianists Competition” in the town of Kitzingen (Germany), and “The International Vakhtang Jordania Conducting Competition”.
