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 around 75 voices
- Given over 1000 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.
