Phoenix through to Finals of the BBC Choir of the Year Competition Reading Phoenix is through to the Finals of the Adult Choir Class of this prestigious Choral Competition to be held on 6th November 2010 in the Birmingham Symphony Hall. Following Nationwide Auditions held over the past few months, Phoenix is one of only four adult choirs selected to participate in the final stages of the competition. Reading Phoenix Choir is a 50 strong mixed voice choir. It is considered one of the finest amateur choirs in the UK. It has members of all backgrounds and ages, with musical experience ranging from music degrees/diplomas to average sight readers, all sharing a love of choral music. Phoenix does not sing the "works" but explores the whole range of a capella music, early and contemporary, sacred and secular, serious and light. The choir has given over 20 first performances of pieces which have been specially commissioned for the choir. The choir features regularly on BBC radio and TV and made a CD recording last year to mark the 40th Anniversary of the choir. Our past tours include visits to Germany/Austria in 2007, Italy in 2005, Finland/Estonia in 2003 and Germany/France in 2001. Concerts are given all over the country for churches, charities and schools. Once a year we host a concert at the Reading Hexagon. |
