About us

Reading Festival Chorus is an amateur mixed choir, first established in 1945, with a current membership of 80 singers. Our patron is John Lill CBE. We perform three to four concerts a year of sacred and secular music, ranging from early to contemporary music in varied venues in and around Reading. We perform with both professional and amateur soloists and orchestras.



The aim of the Chorus is to give the people of Reading and its surrounding communities the opportunity to learn, perform and hear varied choral music of the highest standard.
