Cape Town Orchestra’s outreach programme in peril
The survival of the youth and outreach programmes of the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra (CPO) and the orchestra itself are in peril due to long unexplained delays in receiving funding from the Department of Arts and Culture (DAC).
The CPO has been expecting R7m from the department, GroundUp reports.
“The orchestra is facing a serious challenge and it is not always certain whether it can survive financially from month to month,” said Derek Auret, chairperson of the CPO, who spoke at the opening of the winter symphony season at the City Hall earlier in August.
