Croydon Philharmonic Choir

Croydon Philharmonic is friendly mixed choir, with four voices: Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass. We sing a diverse repertoire, from the great requiems by Mozart and Verdi to selections from modern classics such as West Side Story. The choir was founded in 1914, raising funds for WW1 refugees, and has been at the heat of the Croydon community ever since. We perform four concerts a year, often appearing at the Fairfield Halls, and including a joint concert with the Basingstoke Choral Society. We have some 90 members and an inspirational music director, David Gibson, who always brings out the best in us. We rehearse on Tuesday evenings at St Matthew's in Chichester Road and always welcome new members. Sight-reading is an advantage but is not required, and there is a simple voice test to determine which section newcomers should join.
