Reading Phoenix Choir

Oct 2011 - Reading Phoenix raises the roof to save the roof

Reading Phoenix Choir will return to St Paul's Church, Wokingham on Saturday 15 October to help raise money for the Church Restoration fund. Phoenix, one of the country's leading amateur choirs, is set to delight the audience with a beautiful range of choral pieces, from early music such as 'Hail Gladdening Light' by Charles Wood and Mozart's 'Ave Verum Corpus', through to modern items and pieces commissioned for the choir.

Most pieces will be sung a cappella (unaccompanied) but some will feature the choir's fantastic accompanist, Christopher Enston. In addition to the full choir, the programme will feature performances by an octet and a soloist from the choir.

Reading Phoenix, one of the finest amateur choirs in the country, sang to a rapt audience, with the organisers of the Festival tweeting that the choir had 'literally raised the roof, no mean feat!'
