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.

We staged a lovely Christmas concert at St Matthew's on Saturday December 17, 2022. We sang a selection of carols, some traditional, some drawn from the modern Manchester Carols with their wonderful tunes and lyrics. We had three fabulous soloists in soprano Jocelyn Coates, flautist Victoria Rockport and pianist Siobhain O'Higgins. We had an appreciative audience who joined in the carol singing with great enthusiasm, and our music director David Gibson conducted with his customary aplomb. When we return from the holiday break we will start rehearsing for our next concert in April. For further information, see our Concerts Page.
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.
