Leicester Philharmonic Choir (the 'Phil') was founded in 1886 and is the largest choir in Leicestershire. With over 100 members it is considered one of the foremost choirs in the UK. Our Patron, Karl Jenkins has said of the choir: "They are an excellent choir, absolutely first class, and it's always a pleasure to be involved with them".

Karl has conducted us on several occasions in première performances of his own works, including two performances of The Armed Man.

Because of our excellent reputation we have been invited to perform with the Philharmonia Orchestra and the London Mozart Players on several occasions. Other top-quality orchestras and famous conductors return frequently as guests of the choir.

We also receive invitations to perform at other venues. These have included appearances at the Royal Albert Hall in the Proms, Symphony Hall, Birmingham and other invitation concerts in the UK.

In 2004 members of the choir toured France, performing Vivaldi and Fauré in the cathedrals of Tours and Angers and at La Madeleine in Paris. An Easter 2006 tour in Italy featured performances of Verdi’s Requiem in Florence and Lucca.

Come and Join us!
