Recording session for Sony at Watford Colosseum Studio, March 2007

Would you like to sing with the Philharmonia Chorus?

If you have a passion for singing and would like to sing in first-class concerts with the finest orchestras and conductors in the major concert halls, we would like to hear from you.

Entry to the Chorus is by audition with the Artistic Director. The reputation of the Chorus is founded on the warmth and fullness of its tone, its meticulous preparation in rehearsal, and its sensitive response in performance. We therefore look for clear, well-produced voices with firm tone and good general musicianship. If, prior to auditioning, you would like to come to a rehearsal and sing with us, you would be very welcome - in fact, we would very much like you to do that.

Most of our performances take place in London, but we also undertake other engagements elsewhere in the UK, and there is usually at least one overseas tour every year. Over the years the Chorus has also built up a fine reputation for its many recordings.

As you would imagine, we take our singing seriously, but joining the Chorus is also a great way to meet like-minded people from all walks of life, to socialise and form long-lasting friendships. There is no financial commitment as there is no membership fee, and music is provided free of charge from our extensive library.

Interested? In the first instance, contact us to come along to sing in a rehearsal, where you could see what joining the Philharmonia Chorus could mean for you.

Rehearsals

Rehearsals take place in central London on Thursdays, 6.30pm-9.00pm. When the schedule is busy, the Chorus also rehearses on Wednesdays, but the schedule is arranged wherever possible so that works for one concert are rehearsed just once a week.
