For a century, the choirs of Sydney Philharmonia have been driven by a passion to sing. From the outset, when 19 church choristers met in 1920 to form the Hurlstone Park Choral Society, amateur singers performing at a professional level have devoted their time and talent to the wealth of music in the choral repertoire. Since then, the organisation has grown in size and reputation to become one of Australia’s longest continuously active arts organisations.

The original group of choristers quickly made their mark on Sydney’s musical life, enjoying notable successes at eisteddfods and in performances with church groups and musical societies. By 1930 the membership numbered 100 and the Society had more offers of work than it could manage. The Society’s singers first appeared with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in 1936 and in 1941 the ABC appointed them as the SSO’s choir – a role Sydney Philharmonia Choirs fills to this day.
