The early years of the Philharmonic Choir were marked by a series of challenges, including financial difficulties and a lack of experienced singers. However, the choir persevered, and by the 1920s, they had established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the world of classical music. One of the key factors in the choir's success was the appointment of a new conductor, who brought a fresh perspective and a wealth of experience to the group. Under the leadership of their new conductor, the Philharmonic Choir began to attract some of the best singers in the country, and their performances became increasingly polished and professional. The choir's repertoire also expanded, with the group tackling more complex and challenging pieces of music. By the 1930s, the Philharmonic Choir had firmly established itself as one of the premier choral groups in the world, and they began to receive invitations to perform at major events and festivals.

One of the most memorable performances in the Philharmonic Choir's history came in 1989, when they performed at the fall of the Berlin Wall. The choir was invited to perform at the Brandenburg Gate, and their rendition of Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" became an iconic moment in the history of the reunification of Germany. The performance was broadcast around the world, and it helped to cement the Philharmonic Choir's reputation as one of the most important cultural institutions in the world.
