It was active from its establishment in 1947 until its demise in 1955, and was based in the Leeds Town Hall. Maurice Miles was the orchestra's Principal Conductor, followed by Nicolai Malko. The orchestra was founded in 1947 by the West Riding of Yorkshire. Funding for the YSO was unique as it was achieved from a multiplicity of local authorities, with notable support from the Leeds Corporation which funded the YSO with 40,000 a year to keep it going with a strength of 50 musicians. Its initial conductor was Maurice Miles who remained with the orchestra for the next decade. The inaugural season of 120 concerts included 60 in Leeds. Over thirty 20th Century British works were featured in the season. In March 1950, the Yorkshire Symphony Orchestra gave their first performance in the Royal Albert Hall in London. They returned to London a year later to perform in the new Royal Festival Hall.
