ABOUT

The Music Department of the University of Pretoria has maintained a symphony orchestra for most of the now more than 50 years since the Department was founded. The Orchestra achieved prominence in the 1990s under the direction of Alan Solomon. It was reorganised in 2002, giving performances of both well-known works and rarities under the baton of Lance Philip and Walter Mony. It has further expanded under the direction of Eric Rycroft and the appointment of an orchestra manager, Philippa Kotzé, in 2003.

The University of Pretoria Symphony Orchestra is today the only large-scale orchestra in Pretoria that performs the symphonic repertoire on a regular basis.
