Welcome to Phoenix Singers
Birmingham
Phoenix Singers Birmingham is a registered charity. We usually hold three major fund raising concerts each year, one at Christmas, one at Easter and the other in the summer. Our repertoire covers a wide range of music, from gospel to 'pop', from sacred to folk.
We sing for enjoyment and put on regular concerts to raise money for local charities, in a variety of venues around the Birmingham area, or as guests of choirs elsewhere in the country.
We are proud to have donated over £40,000 to charities that we have supported over the last twenty years; Breast Cancer UK, West Midlands Kidney Appeal, St. Mary's Hospice, Conductive Education, Action for Children, MNDA, Lymphoma Association, The Phoenix Children's Foundation, Alzheimer's Society, Midland Freewheelers Blood Bikes, Birmingham Children's Hospital and Acorns Children's Hospice.
We also enjoy the opportunity to tour abroad every other year, to venues such as Poland, Spain, Hungary and Germany.
We are always happy to welcome new members, so if you like to sing, come along and give us a try. For more details please see our Membership page.
We also value the support of Choir Sponsors for either our concert programme or advertising. You will be helping our chosen charity by enabling us to pass on more financial support. If you are interested in helping us, please contact Sue on 0121 475 4005 or email sue.wri@btinternet.com.
