10th Anniversary Year.
Chorate Chamber Choir
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 £15000 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.
We recently gave a concert at Margam Abbey in South Wales in July 2019 - a return to our conductor, Nigel Wills' home turf. We were 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. Our next outing is our Christmas concert on December 7th, 6pm at St William of York Church in Reading, 'Christus natus est'. Don't miss it! |
