The Sheffield Philharmonic Chorus is a large mixed voice chorus based in Sheffield. The Chorus sings with leading conductors and orchestras and fulfils a challenging and exciting programme under the vibrant and inspiring leadership of its Musical Director, Darius Battiwalla.

In November 2011 we launched our exciting new venture, The Friends of Sheffield Philharmonic Chorus. For the first time members of the music-loving public are offered the opportunity to become part of this vibrant, focused organisation and to contribute to its continuing success. More details are on the Friends of SPC page.

The Chorus always welcomes new members and currently seeks male singers in particular. Rehearsals take place on Tuesday evenings (7pm–9pm) at Sheffield Springs Academy on Hurlfield Road. All are welcome!

Music Nation was a countdown event for the London 2012 Festival. We took part in two events, culminating in Alight: Twilight, which featured over 650 performers in Sheffield City Hall,
