About


Founded in 1914, the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra in Cape Town is arguably the most versatile and active orchestra on the continent of Africa, contributing handsomely to Cape Town’s global status and appeal. Through various incarnations from the Cape Town Municipal Orchestra to the Cape Town Symphony Orchestra, the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra, the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra and finally again the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra, the CPO is financially and culturally sustainable, attracting some of the leading international artists of our time. A multi-functional orchestra, the CPO delivers a world-class orchestra service to all communities in the region, participating in festivals and concerts across all genres of music.

Adapting to Covid-19 protocols and restrictions, the CPO immediately led the way into streaming community and symphony concerts and on-line teaching and mentoring the musicians in its youth development and education programmes.

SPRING CYBER SYMPHONY
"What a wonderfully delightful concert (as have been all the others). Very impressive Egmont Overture by the youth orchestra. Very accomplished and thoroughly enjoyable rendition of the Boccherini Cello Concerto by Aristide du Plessis. And the CPO’s performance of the springy gossamer-like Mendelssohn Fourth Symphony could have been performed in any of the world’s great concert halls, it was that good. Can’t wait for more to come…."

Jordan’s Gift
"Lovely concert, very easy to book and get onto the site. Was fantastic to see a small group play, one can really see the musicians, their expressions, fingering etc. Would definitely watch another quartet. Perhaps the CTSO can put some on?"

WINTER CYBER SYMPHONY
"It was a fantastic privilege to listen to the CTSO from my new home in England - I would never have had the opportunity otherwise. I do hope you will continue streaming performances even when live attendance has returned to normal one day. Restricting the availability to 4 days was perhaps a bit tight and did not give me much time to catch each performance - could you not lengthen the period somewhat, maybe even to 2 weeks?"
