Formed in 1920, Sydney Philharmonia Choirs is Australia's leading choral organisation. The principal choirs Chamber Singers, Symphony Chorus and our youth choir VOX have a reputation both nationally and internationally for inspired mastery of grand symphonic choral works. Each year our diverse repertoire spans early a cappella works to challenging contemporary music. We regularly encourage experienced singers to audition for our choirs.

Our yearly programs give audiences the opportunity to experience the incomparable beauty and exciting precision of trained voices in renowned sacred and secular masterpieces.
