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.

"Excellent concert given by a brilliant, gifted musician, supported by other great musicians. Thank you to Jordan for deep, heart-felt, impecably played, beautiful music. Thank you to those who organised and recorded the concert."

"Feedback for Quicker. My transmission halted way in into the 2nd piece. I don't know whether that was general, but luckily one can rerun. My feedback to Jordan and his acconpanists was THANK YOU FIR THE GIFT. I am a huge fan and have twice sat right up close to him in live concert days. I got to do it again newstyle, and he had a bit more freedom of movement in the pared down setting. Good choice of venue for ambience and visual setting. Wimning selection of pieces and outstanding collaborators, all but Refiloe new to me. I will.be offering supporti to Jordan in the UK once he is settled in for sure. "

"The concert was superb. However, trying to book on quicket was almost impossibly difficult and took a friend and Mr several hours to work it out. Both of us are tech savvy"
