The Philharmonic
Choir of Manchester was first formed as a mixed choir
in 1985 from members of the Friends of the BBC Philharmonic
Orchestra. Since then the choir has presented concerts
regularly throughout the North West to support various charities
and members have participated in Le Festival de Musique et des
Arts de La Tour in the south of France.
The Choir has taken part in joint
concerts with Sale and Oldham Choral Societies and in events
organised by the National Federation of Music Societies, with
whom it is affiliated.
The Choir has performed Elgar’s Dream
of Gerontius, Rossini’s Petite Messe Solenelle, Mendelssohn’s
Elijah, Faure’s Requiem, Vivaldi’s Gloria, Mozart’s Requiem,
Mass in C Minor and Solemn Vespers, Haydn’s Creation and Bach’s
Christmas Oratorio.
Enjoy a good sing? Then why not join us?
We do not, as part of our ethos, audition
and it does not really matter if you have little or no experience
of singing. What is important, is that you want to sing
and are prepared to give commitment to choral singing.
As with many choirs we need more male
members to achieve a better balance between the sections,
but all voices are welcome.
Come to expand your experience and
knowledge of live music.
We are a choir committed to the joy
of live music making.
The Choir meets at 7.30 pm on Tuesday
nights at St Paul's Church Withington Manchester M20 4AW
(Click on map above for directions)
The entrance to the car park is via the
Vicarage drive, which is the house nearest to the
junction of Palatine Road and Wilmslow
Road (traffic lights) on Wilmslow Road.
