Philomusica exists to:

• Sing good music well
• Welcome all regardless of skill and experience
• Foster an atmosphere of learning and enjoyment

 Philomusica has a set of core values which we hold dear:

• To be supportive and inclusive
• To provide good quality music
• To develop and use our own soloists
• To have a professional approach
• To be financially sound

By staying true to these principles we have achieved a great deal since our formation in 1966.

We have:

• Built a choir of over 90 voices
• Given over 900 concerts
• Performed in major venues; Gloucester, Worcester & Hereford Cathedrals as well as Tewkesbury and Pershore Abbeys and Cheltenham Town Hall
• Performed in a huge number of smaller venues and churches
• Been on a number of overseas tours: France, Holland, Belgium & the USA
• Given solo opportunities to many talented local singers
• Raised thousands of pound for charity

Right from the very start, we considered that the provision of a wide variety of  music and the giving of concerts in a multitude of venues, large and small, were vital aspects. Over time, through doing this, we've gained many friends and partners who help us achieve these objectives.

We're a very friendly, forward-looking organisation that works hard to attract interest across the generations and cultures. So whatever your age or background, come and meet us, you'll be made very welcome.
