Music at Reading - Choirs
Wednesday, 03 October 2018
With four different choirs to choose from, singers of all abilities are welcome to join. The philosophy of Music at Reading is that everyone can sing, and through focused rehearsals and dedicated musicianship training, the choirs will help you find your voice, read music, and perform!
