About Us

Worthing Philharmonic Choir was formed in 1935 by Herbert Lodge as the Worthing Municipal. Over the years we have performed most of the standard works in the repertoire with many distinguished soloists, orchestras and conductors.

Under our Choral Director, Donovan Brown, we perform a wide variety of choral music in both local churches and the Assembly Hall in Stoke Abbott Road, Worthing. We rehearse Tuesday evenings at 7.30pm in the Gordon Room at the Worthing Town Hall complex.  If reading music is new to you we offer free training sessions in small, informal groups with one of our members.

This year we presented an Advent Service on November 30th and took part in a ‘Prelude for Christmas’ with the Alassio Orchestra on 7th December. On Good Friday 10th April 2009 we performed Mozart’s Requiem and Charpentier’s Te Deum, accompanied by the Sinfonia of Arun. On 20th June, Rossini’s tuneful and lively Petite Messe Solennelle will be presented.

Would you like a choir to lead the singing at your wedding?  We can offer a smaller choir, a wide repertoire and an organist.  Please contact our secretary for further details.

We welcome new singers in all voices. Our secretary, Bridget Hobson, will be happy to give you more information about the choir and answer your queries.
