The
Philharmonic Choir of Manchester
Who We Are
We are an unauditioned amateur choir who sing a wide range of European classical music from contrasting eras and composers. Some of the music we sing is in the Christian tradition, but we are not a religious choir and welcome people of all faiths and beliefs, or none.
When We Meet
We rehearse for an hour and a half on Tuesday evenings during school terms, making for about 30 rehearsals a year, about 10 for each concert. This prepares us for staging three concerts a year at St Paul’s Church in Withington.
