The Taipei Philharmonic Chorus was founded in 1972 and, through the efforts of its conductors, has established an extensive repertoire and a reputation as one of the most prestigious choruses in Taiwan. Members of the chorus are music lovers from all walks of life. Their love of music, combined with the vision of the conductors, has allowed the Taipei Philharmonic Chorus to greatly increase the number of performances it gives each year. Because it is one of the leading performing groups in Taiwan, the Taipei Philharmonic Chorus was sponsored by the Council for Cultural Planning and Development from 1994 to 1996 under a program of "Support for International Artistic Groups" and again from 1997 to 2002 as an "Outstanding Performing Groups".

This group, known as the "Taipei Philharmonic Chamber Choir" has an impressive history of overseas performances. It not only participates in various International Choral Festivals and annually goes abroad for a tour of concerts but also is active at home, co-operating with the government "Community Development Scheme" by giving highly appreciated concerts in the cultural centers of small, local towns and villages.
