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 2024-2025 season we would like to express our gratitude for sponsorship which we have received from Gower College Swansea and from Peter Lynn & Partners for our November 2024 concert, as well as sponsorship from the Gower Society for our November 2024 and Easter 2025 concerts respectively.

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!
