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 70
members who comprise four choral sections: soprano, alto, tenor and bass. We have an extensive repertoire, ranging from classic choral pieces to contemporary music. (Find more about our
history here.)
Vacancy for Music Director
We are looking to appoint a new Music Director from September 2026 to succeed David Gibson, who is stepping down after nearly 30 highly
successful years in the role.
This is an opportunity to lead an experienced and ambitious choir of about 70 singers to the next stages of its development. Remuneration will be competitive and reflect the experience of the
selected candidate.

LOOKING FORWARD TO 2026!
Following our Mozart from Memory concert on November, when we sang Mozart's magnificent Requiem, we had a brilliant Christmas concert at our St Matthew's base on December 16. One of the highlights was the superb trumpet playing of our president, Crispian Steele-Perkins, and there was some spirited carol singing from the choir and audience. We are now back from our Christmas break and rehearsing for our Fairfield Halls concert on Sunday April 19. It is called Celebrating Karl Jenkins (photo above) and the centrepiece will be Symphonic Adiemus together with the Choral Suite of his renowned Armed Man oratorio.
