Cape Philharmonic Youth Orchestra & Cape Philharmonic Youth Wind Ensemble:
The CPYO and CPYWE have performed at many events this past term. Playing music at many events will improve the skills of the musicians and it’s a nice experience to become a professional musician in the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra.
One of the highlights for the Wind Ensemble was performing at the MTN Greyton Classics for “All Festival”. This festival takes place every year and sets a platform for musicians. Another highlight for the Cape Philharmonic Youth Orchestra was playing for Stefanie Morland fashion show at the Mercedes Benz SA Fashion Week held at the CTICC. It was the first time in Cape Town, the Youth Orchestra was playing and topmodels walking on the music. Other great performances were at the Stellenbosch International Chamber Music Festival and the Curtain Raiser in City Hall. The CPWO received standing ovations for the various performances.
