Reading Choral Society is inviting the community to come and join them at this workshop. Dr. Leach has chosen music for the workshop that is titled Accessible Repertoire by African American Composers. His selections will be based on the themes of Faith, Justice & Hope. This is offered as a FREE workshop with a donation for lunch, payable at the door. Registration is through Eventbrite (pre-registration is suggested in order to have music & lunch available for everyone).
Founded in 1875, the Reading Choral Society has a long and proud tradition of presenting vocal music, particularly symphonic choir masterworks, but also exploring and interpreting other genres. Under the energetic and nurturing leadership of Dr. Bier, our twelfth Music Director, the organization seeks to continue to pursue its mission to perform, foster, and advance choral music with a balance between honoring our heritage and looking to the future. Its educational programs now encompass regular performances with invited local high school and college choirs. 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.
Suggested Donation at the door of $5-$10. Register for workshop through Eventbrite.
