Sheffield Philharmonic Chorus (SPC) is South Yorkshire's foremost mixed-voice choir. We have around 180 members, and perform major choral works with internationally acclaimed orchestras in Sheffield City Hall. Membership is open to anyone who can sing, and is subject to an audition. SPC is a registered charity.
We rehearse in King Edward VII School from 7pm to 9pm every Tuesday.

Access by car – There are two vehicle access points, from Newbould Lane and from Glossop Road. There is car parking on site; however as the Language College part of KES is also open on Tuesday evening, there will be competition for places. There is substantial street parking on Clarkhouse Rd. and other streets nearby after 6.30. Disabled access using ramps and a lift is from the town end of the site off Glossop Rd.
Access on foot / by Bus – There are numerous bus services stopping at the bus stops on the roads surrounding the school (Glossop Road, Newbould Lane and Clarkhouse Rd) and a lot of services.
