A brand new professional orchestra based at Brooklyn Theatre, Pretoria.
The yearning for the most beautiful music, experienced live and performed by the finest artists, is one that music-lovers worldwide share.
Gauteng Philharmonic Orchestra (GPO) is the brainchild and latest addition to Brooklyn Theatre, in response to popular demand by music lovers in Gauteng.
GPO was formed early 2014 as a non-profit organisation. Its aim is to fill a big gap in the local music market and also give opportunities and employment to talented young performers.
The motivation of the GPO is to make music accesible to as wide an audience of young South Africans as possible, who might not otherwise have the means to experience with classical.
Our inspiring preformances are designed to delight our loyal followers, whose fine taste in music we fully appreciate.

To solicit the support and donations of sponsors to widen it’s scope for social projects and upliftment through music.
To open all final dress rehearsals to school children and students at a nominal fee.
To augment (on an ad hoc basis) the orchestra for Romantic or other works. This will also target ‘upliftment’ and aim to involve artists who could derive value and experience from playing with professionals.
