Chorus description:
Reading Community Singers (RCS) is a non-audition community chorus of over 70 voices, bringing together singers of all ages with a desire to share a love of music with the community. We perform two concert series each season, in the fall and spring. We also appear at various community events, sporting events and volunteer performances. Initially founded as the Women’s Choral Society in 1919, RCS is proud to be counted as one of the oldest continuously running choruses in the country. We celebrated our 100th anniversary in 2019. Come sing with us! All abilities are welcome, and you don’t need to be from Reading. We welcome anyone who loves to sing and can carry a tune and match pitch. We rehearse on Tuesdays from 7:30 – 9:30 pm at the Old South United Methodist Church, 6 Salem Street, Reading. Watch our website for information about our latest season. You can also find us on Facebook and Instagram.
