Do You Enjoy Singing?

Then why not come and join us? The City Philharmonic Choral society is a small friendly choir based in central London. We perform major choral works twice a year under our conductor, Stephen Rhys MBE, often joining with our sister choirs, The Putney Choral Society and Choeur Regional de Flandre (Dunkirk). There is no requirement to be able to sight read and there are no auditions.

Rehearsals take place every Tuesday from 6-8 p.m. at:

Faure Requiem

Gabriel Fauré composed his Requiem in D minor, Op. 48 between 1887 and 1890. This choral–orchestral setting of the Roman Catholic Mass for the Dead is the best known of his large works. The most famous movement is the soprano aria Pie Jesu. Camille Saint-Saëns said of it, "just as Mozart's is the only Ave verum Corpus, this is the only Pie Jesu." More notes can be found at the Wikipedia website.

We will also be performing Bach's Christmas Oratorio.

Rehearsals begin at 6pm on 16th September 2008 at The American Church in London. The concert will take place at 7-30 on 6th December with Putney Choral Society at St Paul’s Church, Southfields.
