Community Philharmonic Orchestra (COMPO)

The Community Philharmonic Orchestra is a non-profit organization that provides an opportunity for amateur musicians to perform alongside and learn from professional musicians. The orchestra aims to always have at least 50% amateur musicians during performances and offers mentoring and tutoring at various levels, including life skills orientation. Musicians from all communities within the Western Cape are welcome to join, promoting diversity. The orchestra was officially registered in April 2019, even though it has been performing for several years. This initiative also aims to support aspiring orchestral conductors by providing them with opportunities to develop and gain experience.
