Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra

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.

"Great performance, lovely setting...and technicals the best yet!"

"I very much enjoyed the event, but personally I don’t want to sit more than an hour at a time in front of a tv. I suppose I could have streamed the event in installments (which I would prefer). Is there a Quicket app on Apple TV (facilitating streaming directly to my tv and sound system)?"

"Thank everyone involved in making this such a special family event. We have attended the concert every year and of course nothing matches being in the audience ... and having the ZipZap circus performing. But we watched the concert on line as a family and everyone stayed in front of the screen the entire time. I first knew of Brendan Phillips when he directed a New Apostolic Choir concert in the church on Klipfontaine, having heard it advertised on FMR. Since then I've been interested in his career and I appreciate very much his flair and pleasure he projects. The variety in the program was just right. Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen.

"It Does not compare with the live event, but under the circumstances it was enjoyable and an evening of music to sit down and enjoy. We liked the commentary from the conductor and artist. "
