The Cape Philharmonic Orchestra – Cape Town

The Cape Philharmonic Orchestra (CPO) is proud to be South Africa's "orchestra for all seasons" – a financially and culturally sustainable, multi–functional orchestra delivering a world–class musical experience to all communities of the Western Cape.

We are one of only two full–time professional symphony orchestras in South Africa. The CPO continues a history of symphonic music in the city since the first symphony orchestra was formed in 1914.

Apart from traditional symphony concerts, the orchestra joins Cape Town Opera and Cape Town City Ballet for their opera and ballet seasons. Being involved in charity galas, playing lighter "symphonic pops" music for special occasions and performing in collaboration with community musicians & choirs all add up to a staggering 120 performances a year.

The Cape Philharmonic Orchestra is arguably the most versatile and active orchestra on the continent of Africa and contributes handsomely in making Cape Town part of a global culture.
