The Catania Philharmonic Orchestra has established itself as a dynamic, high-quality musical force in Sicily's cultural life. Born from the passion and professionalism of experienced musicians, it brings together established players and young talent with a shared goal: creating opportunities for growth, sharing and cultural enrichment for those who play and those who listen.
Its repertoire ranges from symphonic music and opera to great film scores, with productions such as Morricone & Friends, Armonie da Oscar and Games in Concert. The CPO performs in Sicily's leading theatres: the Greek Theatres of Taormina and Syracuse, the Teatro di Modica, the Metropolitan in Catania and the Golden in Palermo.
