Paisley Philharmonic Choir has, over the years,  gained a reputation as one of the finest and most versatile choirs in the West of Scotland - a reputation of which we are justly proud.

There are many people who have contributed, in many ways, in support of the Choir, of whom the ones mentioned here are just a few key individuals.  Special mention is also due, to members of various serving Committees and Officers who have carried a great deal of responsibility during the life of the Choir.

Apart from the periods of lock-down during the Covid epidemic we have been able to present, either  ourselves or  in conjunction with other choirs, around five concerts each year.  Many of our events have been in aid of a variety of charities, including: Cystic Fibrosis, Yorkhill Scanner appeal, Riding for the Disabled, Cancer Research, The British Diabetic Association, Multiple Sclerosis, Christian Aid, The Roy Castle Lung Foundation, St Vincent's Hospice, Ekwendeni Primary School in Malawi, together with projects such as church organ  and  other refurbishments.

As well as regular choir events, we have from time to time also undertaken one-off projects. In Autumn 2004, for example, the Choir completed the recording of a Christmas CD in association with the Scottish Co-Op Band. In December 2009 we were invited to share a concert in Kelvingrove Art Gallery, promoted by Smooth Radio. The Choir has often sung in St Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh 'Sunday at Six' series and other events. We have also featured in the Paisley Choral Festival. 

We have regularly engaged some of the finest soloists in the country, including established singers and  recent graduates of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, often accompanied by a professional orchestra. On occasions we have also engaged  young people who are still at school or university, giving them opportunities to perform and gain experience that may inspire them in their musical pursuits. 

Naturally, our repertoire has grown considerably over time and so has our music library, which we are able to hire out to other choirs. 

Our members are mainly from Renfrewshire, Glasgow and Inverclyde, but some of us travel from further afield. We are individually associated in a variety of  ways with our particular communities but also as a choir. We are very grateful for the many churches and other venues where we have held concerts and rehearsals.

We have been welcomed for events in the Methodist Central Hall, Paisley Abbey, Paisley Town Hall, Oakshaw Trinity Church,   St Mirin's Cathedral, Holy Trinity & St Barnabas, Paisley South Church, Paisley Grammar School, St Charles Primary School, Inchinnan Parish Church, and others. The list is not exhaustive.
