The Winnipeg Philharmonic Choir is entering its 90th season as a community choir providing a concert series throughout a fall to spring season. Established in 1922, The Winnipeg Philharmonic Choir holds the distinguished honor of being the oldest choral group in Western Canada. "The Phil" strives to perform major works, with musical accompaniment, and continues to provide a creative outlet for adult amateur singers from every walk of life brought together by a mutual love of fine music.
An exciting and moving look at the life and times of the world's most famous Russian composer and his contemporaries. Conducted and narrated by our own maestro, Yuri Klaz.
Special guests the Winnipeg Brass Quintet. Angelic voices. Brilliant Brass. Christmas music and sing a-longs, who could ask for anything more!
Mozart's Great Mass in C minor: Join the Phil and soloists Nikki Einfeld - soprano, Kirsten Schellenberg - alto, Aaron Hutton - tenor, David Watson - bass, and special guests the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra for this not-to-be missed performance of Mozart's magnificent Mass, plus his Ave Verum Corpus — regarded by many as the most beautiful piece of music ever composed.
The Winnipeg Philharmonic is please to be showcased in the latest Winnipeg Foundation 'Working Together' Magazine. Check out a PDF of the article here.

At its October 24 meeting, the Board of the Philharmonic Choir honoured the contribution of Keith Black to the work of the Board. Keith has served ably as President and Past President of the Board returning on a pro tem basis to "fill holes" when asked. His dedication and hard work on behalf of the Phil have been outstanding. His voice at the Board table has been one of passion for choral singing and of reason in our deliberations. His best guess is that he served a total of 12 years as a member of the Board of Directors. We have benefitted greatly from his contributions and know we have a solid supporter, still in the ranks of the choir, ready to assist when and where he can. In the photo, Past-President Jeff Carter (right) makes a presentation to Keith.
