5th Cape Town International Summer Music Festival

An orchestra for all seasons

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. In this spirit the CPO presented the first Cape Town International Music Festival in 2006.

This festival has become an annual event, attracting first rate musicians from all over the world as well as providing opportunities to South Africa's foremost artists.

With Cape Town being the prime tourist destination in South Africa, this also means that the orchestra makes an important contribution to the cultural component of the tourism product that the city offers to local and international visitors.
