The Leeds Philharmonic Society is one of the UK’s major promoters of choral music. Affectionately known as the Phil, it is one of the oldest choral groups in the country and has sung to the citizens of Leeds since 1872.

Leeds Philharmonic Society has over 160 singing members regularly performing concerts at Leeds Town Hall. Performances are often jointly promoted with Leeds International Concert Season and the BBC. Repertoire is extensive, combining both tradition and innovation. As well as taking part in the annual Leeds International Concert Season, the Phil appears at major venues across the country and visits mainland Europe every other year.

In recent years the chorus has recorded works such as Stanford's Stabat Mater and Te Deum for Chandos, Walton's Gloria and Belshazzar's Feast for Naxos and The Messiah for CMI Records.
