Proms A NOTE FROM THE CEO & ARTISTIC DIRECTOR, CAPE TOWN PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA

“TheOrchestraforall.”

The Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra is known for its excellence, its dynamism, its flexibility to play all genres of music and its commitment to all facets of its community. During the pandemic, its reputation increased nationally and internationally.

Having already presented a special concert for the LBGTQ+ community at the Green Point Urban Park some years ago, we are delighted to reinforce our relationship to the LBGTQ+ community and trust this will become an annual event, one that has wide appeal across the entire city. Many of tonight’s performers are seasoned CPO artists, others are performing with us for the first time.

We are delighted to work with Tommy Paterson and his team to unite them all in what will be an extravaganza of note! We are particularly proud of the fact that we have launched many young artists in our community galas, and helped others establish themselves as leading South African artists. We celebrate life and tonight we celebrate with pride the Pride Proms.
