Plymouth Philharmonic Choir - Plymouth & Devon's premier choir

We exist to share the joy of high-quality large-scale choral music

Founded in 1970, our 120-plus members perform a variety of music in Plymouth and elsewhere in the country and abroad. We have won widespread acclaim and concerts often include world-class soloists and musicians. 'In the top 10% of amateur choirs in the UK' says internationally renowned tenor and choir Patron Neil Jenkins.
