SPC is a friendly and welcoming, performing choir; there is an expectation that members commit to taking part in our concerts and attend sufficient rehearsals in order to be properly prepared for performance.
Rehearsals are at Turner Sims on Monday evenings, 7.30pm to 9.30pm, with a short break at about 8.30pm. Our first rehearsal of the 2026-27 season is on 21 September.
Membership fees are one of our main sources of income, helping to pay for the promotion of concerts and the professional players and soloists we use. Despite this, our subs are less than the fees for many adult education classes.
For the 2025-26 season:
- full subscription is £160;
- members aged under 25 years at the start of the season, £30.
Note: subscription rates for the 2026-27 season will be decided at the AGM in September.
To discuss joining (and/or in case of financial hardship) please contact the Registrar.
(Students at Southampton University should join the SU Philharmonic Choir, who rehearse and perform with the SPC.)
