The BSO history begins with the concert performed by the Bilkent International Youth Symphony Orchestra in the Ankara Hippodrome.

The idea of establishing these orchestras belongs to Prof. Ersin Onay. Between years 1991-1992, the International Youth Orchestra was coming together and maintain their works in Bilkent every summer. Students from different parts of the world were being invited to this orchestra. In the Anatolian Music Festivals and events it implemented since the year it was founded in 1993, it cooperates with various institutions, organizations and particularly, with civil society organizations (cso). By making contribution to education, through selecting one child from each province it performed a concert in, it has ensured these children to receive education in the Preparatory School of the Bilkent University Music and Performing Arts Faculty.
