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.

"Hello, Trank you so much for giving us the opportunity to listen to Concerts of the CPO - we heard both of them. Although we were 12.000 kms away up to North we enjoyed a great performance as to Interpretation, quality of the musicians and the superb technical quality - sound and optic. With my best wishes for a merry Xmas and a happy new year with full concert halls! Martin and Jutta "

"It was an enchanting evening - Daniel Brodie was amazing. Brandon Phillips is a charismatic conductor and the entire orchestra was wonderful. I also enjoyed the staff arranging the stage, everybody was efficient, quiet and fast working. I missed a program, though."
