The Phil Kids Choir was founded in 2006 under the leadership of Christopher Bell who was then Chorus Master of the Philharmonic Choir.  Young singers come to sing and make music from all sections of the community and from all over Belfast and beyond. 

The Children’s Choir has 218 singers from 7 – 11 years.  All the young singers are taught musicianship as well as choral singing based on the philosophy of the Hungarian composer Zoltan KodaIy. 

At Phil Kids the staff believe that music learning through singing should be fun and enjoyable for children.  So, every week in musicianship classes the children play singing and rhythm games as well as singing in the choir. 

Friendship and joy through singing is what Phil Kids is all about.

The Choir was formed in 1973.  Within two years the membership had grown to 35 and the decision was taken to enter the Morecambe Music Festival where they were awarded first place.  Since then, they have continued to compete against other male voice choirs, taking part in thirty one music festivals and being awarded twenty two first places and seven second places.  The choir has performed throughout the United Kingdom and has toured and performed in Sweden, Germany, Canada and the Czech Republic. 

During the past forty five years the choir has, through their concert performances, raised approximately £500,000 for community projects, and always welcomes requests to give concerts for fund-raising.
