The Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra and Cape Town Opera are a vital part of the
cultural life of Cape Town and make an important contribution to the cultural heritage
of South Africa. Both companies deliver world-class performances, attract leading South
African and international artists of our time, and contribute to Cape Town’s international
status and appeal.
The Duet Endowment Trust, launched in August 2014, aims to build a fund, grow the
capital and ensure there is sufficient income to provide on-going injections of money
to its joint beneficiaries, the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra and Cape Town Opera.
