Singing since 1914
Croydon Philharmonic Choir
ShareThe Croydon Philharmonic Choir is the largest and longest-established choir in Croydon. We have been singing for more than 100 years and perform four concerts each year. We have around 100 members who comprise four choral sections: soprano, alto, baritone and bass. We have an extensive repertoire, ranging from classic choral pieces to contemporary music. (Find more about our history here.)
We have an inspirational music director, David Gibson, who challenges us to bring out the best in ourselves. We have a strong reputation for staging great concerts and sending our audiences home buzzing with excitement.

BRING ON THE MEN! We have a very exiting concert ahead, namely our joint performance with the Croydon Male Voice Choir (shown in photo) on June 7. We first shared a stage with the Croydon men three years ago at Croydon Minster, and are returning to the Minster again this time. It was a wonderful fun occasion in 2022 and we are delighted to be appearing with our CMVC friends again. For the three men who belong to both choirs, it will be an especially lively event. You can find more details on the Concerts page.
If you are visiting these pages because you are interesting in singing with the choir, just come to one of our rehearsals at St Matthews, held on Tuesday evenings from 7.15pm to 9pm. Or you can get in touch via our contact form. Just fill in your name and email and we will get back to you.

The photograph shows us singing at a concert at Fairfield Halls. We usually wear formal dress at big occasions like that. For our summer concert the men dispense with DJs and appear in shirt-sleeves, sometimes with a red bow tie. The women dress less formally too.
