In an era when modern music often overshadows the past, The Philharmonic Society of Selangor, affectionately known as The Phil, is committed to preserving our musical heritage.

This community choir has recently launched a project to preserve and revitalise beloved Malaysian tunes from previous generations. For over six decades, The Phil has been a staple in the Malaysian choral scene, fostering a sense of community and cultural appreciation through music – it’s been around since 1958!
