The Magic of Broadway

by Reading Choral Society

The Magic of Broadway

Trinity Lutheran Church, 527 Washington Street, Reading

Under the direction of RCS Music Director, Dr. Graham Bier, Reading Choral Society will be singing many of your favorite Broadway tunes from the following musicals: Oklahoma, South Pacific, Carousel, State Fair, Les Miserables and many more. Audrey Christ will be the Guest Accompanist. Solos will be sung by many of our members, as well as the RCS Section Leaders.

Founded in 1875, the Reading Choral Society has a long and proud tradition of presenting vocal music, particularly symphonic masterworks, but also exploring and interpreting other music genres. Under its current music director, Graham Bier (the twelfth person to hold this position), the Reading Choral Society continues to evolve and change. Its educational programs now encompass regular performances with invited local high school and college choirs, community engagement programs, awards and scholarships for high school and college students. While continuing the tradition of programming master choral works, the Society has expanded its repertory to include the more frequent performance and commissioning of new music and the exploration of more “popular” literature, like folksongs, spirituals, and musical theater.

The Reading Choral Society is comprised now, as it has always been, of dedicated semi-professional singers from all walks of life with no minimum or maximum age. Determined to present the highest caliber musical performances possible, the Society rehearses weekly in a professional atmosphere, fulfilling the lives of its members by immersing them in great music, and through RCS performances enriching and enlivening the musical life of the greater Reading community.

Tickets: $15 in advance / $20 at door; Students $10

I wanted to thank you again for the opportunity you have created for our kids.  This experience is more than the TV show.  Eight students who probably never would have talked to each other were excited to execute a plan. Know that you make a difference.
