EnglishWhat Is the Glasgow Phoenix Choir Website?
Updated
phoenixchoir.org is the online home of The Glasgow Phoenix Choir, a mixed-voice SATB choir of about 90 singers that describes itself as one of Scotland's and the UK's foremost and longest-established choral groups. The site is the place to confirm who the choir is, see its latest recording and news, and find out how to join or get in touch. It is an information and contact site for the choir rather than a ticketing or streaming platform.
Who the choir is
The choir was founded in 1951, when members of the disbanded Glasgow Orpheus Choir chose to carry on a tradition that had begun in 1901. Its singing members range from teenagers to octogenarians.
Its repertoire is broad: a library of more than 1,000 titles and over 30 recorded albums, covering musicals, pop, Scottish song, oratorio, opera, chamber music and sacred music from the major composers. The choir has performed across Scotland, the wider UK and occasionally Europe, and has appeared on television and radio, including the BBC Proms, Smooth Radio, Radio Scotland's "The Reel Blend" and an episode of the BBC Scotland comedy "Still Game".

When the site is useful
- You're considering singing with a choir. The join page points you to the Choir Manager, and the about section tells you the voice mix and age range so you can judge fit.
- You want to check the choir's background before a performance or booking. The history and repertoire summary is the quickest reference.
- You need the right contact. Membership questions go to the Choir Manager; everything else to the Choir Secretary.
- You want current announcements. The news section and embedded Facebook feed carry the latest updates, including concert ticket availability.
If you're looking for a full concert calendar, ticket checkout or recordings to stream, the site itself doesn't present those as its main functions; it directs you to news, the latest recording and direct contact instead.
