Welcome to the website of Swansea Philharmonic Choir
Swansea Philharmonic Choir was founded in 1959 under the baton of Dr Haydn James, recognised as a leading figure in choral music, with a mission to ‘raise the standard of choral singing in Wales and perform less familiar music as well as choral classics.’ His aim has continued through the years under the excellent 30-year musical leadership of Clive John and remains at the foundation of the Choir under the musical direction of our inspiring conductor, Jonathan Rogers, since 2015.
We are a mixed choir of about 100 singers and we enjoy learning and performing a wide repertoire of choral music, from Renaissance and Baroque to 21st century. In this our 2025-2026 season, we would like to express our gratitude for sponsorship which we have received from the Gower Society for our Easter 2026 concert.
Swansea Philharmonic Choir prides itself on performing high quality music for the enjoyment of all. Please browse our website to find out more about the Choir. If you’d like to join and sing with us, have a look at our page about joining the Choir and get in touch! We would love to hear from you!
This term, the Swansea Philharmonic Choir celebrated 10 years of Jonathan Rogers leading them as conductor. Jonathan’s dedication and guidance have helped the choir grow and improve over the past decade. Read more about this…
