Experience the Power of the Human Voice in Sydney Philharmonia Choirs’ Inspiring 2026 Concert Season
Sydney Philharmonia Choirs’ 2026 concert season celebrates sublime music, from beloved Baroque favourites such as Bach’s St John Passion to awe-inspiring masterpieces like Britten’s War Requiem, alongside thrilling works by today’s composers.
Whether an exquisite baroque program with the Chamber Singers at Pier 2/3, the youthful sounds of VOX at White Bay Power Station, or the wall of sound that comes from the 400-voice Festival Chorus in the Sydney Opera House, the Choirs present music that will excite every musical taste.
And you needn’t just enjoy it from the audience seats: make 2026 the year you sing in the choir yourself. ChorusOz is your opportunity—whether you’re a shower star or a curious can’t-sing-a-note—to join 999 others on stage at the Sydney Opera House. Perform with a real orchestra and world-class opera stars in Verdi’s grand tragedy, Aida. Past participants call the experience “life-changing,” and many return year after year.
Choirs for all people & occasions
Later this year, you could join our Christmas Choir and sing in Handel’s Messiah at the Opera House. Hallelujah!
2026 is also the year our young adult choir VOX turns 25, the average age of its members. Renowned for its contemporary choral sound, virtuosic a cappella harmonising, and themes of spirituality, environment, and community, VOX will mark the milestone with World O World, a gorgeous anniversary concert in November at White Bay Power Station.
If you’ve never experienced the Choirs before, the season-opening concert Gloria! at Pier 2/3 in Walsh Bay is the perfect introduction. Hear Vivaldi’s brilliant Gloria in D, Handel’s fiery Dixit Dominus and JS Bach’s radiant Cantata No.12 right on Sydney Harbour as the sun sets over the water. Could there be a better setting? And after the concert, join the choristers for a drink to celebrate the beginning of the season.
