Sing with Reading Phoenix Choir
Reading Phoenix Choir is a friendly, inclusive group of singers who are committed to our high standard of music making, our diverse mix of choral repertory, and our annual season of about twelve public performances. The concert season runs from September to July each year.
Rehearsals take place at South Lake Primary School, Woodley from 7.45 to 9.55 pm every Monday during term time. There is always an additional rehearsal directly before a concert.
As a choir, we work together to learn most of our music ‘by heart’, and we sing these pieces of music from memory in our concerts and other public events. Our buddy programme supports new members to learn the repertoire and build up confidence to sing without sheet music. The enthusiasm and passion from the choir – combined with the energy and talent of our Musical Director, Christopher Hann – makes it all worth it.

How to Join
Please contact us at any time to ask about membership. Maybe you have recently moved to the area and are looking for a great choir to join. Perhaps you sing in a small choir and would like to stretch yourself, or you might just want a change from performing Handel’s Messiah every year!The best way to find out whether Reading Phoenix is for you is to come to one of our open rehearsals. Every term we hold an open rehearsal where anyone who is interested in becoming a member can come along. Open rehearsals will be advertised on the home page of this website and elsewhere.
To join the choir, you will need to pass an audition (not as scary as it sounds!) and there is a subscription cost which is currently £225 for the year (which can be paid as £75 at the beginning of each term).
