Cape Philharmonic Orchestra with Opera and Ballet

The multi-talented Cape Philharmonic Orchestra joins Cape Town Opera and Cape Town City Ballet for a season of memorable performances

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.

It is 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.

In addition to their traditional symphony concerts, the orchestra will be joining Cape Town Opera and Cape Town City Ballet for their opera and ballet seasons until late June 2009. Being involved in charity galas, playing lighter "symphonic pops" music for special occasions and performing in collaboration with community musicians and choirs all add up to a staggering 120 performances a year.

The Cape Philharmonic Orchestra with Cape Town Opera and Cape Town City Ballet:

Date: 3 April – 25 June 2009
