We are a Reading-based mixed voice chamber choir, formed in 2009 by a group of experienced singers wanting to sing, have fun and raise funds for good causes, with over £8000 raised so far! The group gives concerts at churches across Reading, as well as carol singing for local charities, and regularly gives concerts at St Mary's in Slough as part of the Saturday Lunchtime Concert Series. We were delighted to be asked to take part in the 1500th concert last March.
A visit to Margam Abbey in South Wales is planned for the future. Last year we thrilled to join the Camerata Choir to sing the Irish, Romanian, Australian and Welsh national anthems at the Rugby World Cup 2015 matches at Wembley and Twickenham. Our repertoire comprises sacred and secular music from the 13th century to the present day, by composers from Palestrina to Rodgers and Hammerstein! We also sing for weddings; the most recent was at St Peter & Paul, Checkendon. Contact us for details. |

At our recent concert in Saint Mary's, Slough on 17th October 2015, Chorate were delighted to be awarded the Memorial plate.
From St Mary's, Slough: Every year a memorial plaque is awarded to an outstanding performer of the Saturday lunchtime concerts at St. Mary's in memory of John Burrows, who died on Thursday, November 14th. 2002. In 2010 the name of Joe Miserendino was added as a tribute to a wonderful composer/friend of these concerts.
Accompanist: Fran Birch
