At the end of May, Daniel Mahoney was a guest of Bill Buckley on Radio Berkshire talking about his recent appointment as Music Director of Reading Bach Choir and his thoughts and plans for our future together.
We are recruiting
This accomplished choir performs a wide range of choral music, ancient and modern, with a particular focus on challenging and rewarding new music. Recent concerts have included works by Caroline Shaw, Reena Esmail and Saunder Choi as well as more familiar composers such as Byrd, Tomkins, Vaughan Williams and of course J.S. Bach. In the pipeline is music by Margaret Bonds, Brahms and an exciting UK premier of Kile Smith's The Arc in the Sky.
We are looking for new members (particularly basses) with a high standard of singing and musicianship, who are interested in challenging themselves musically in a friendly and aspirational environment, led by our recently appointed conductor Daniel Mahoney. If that sounds like you, please come and join us for a few rehearsals to try us out. If you enjoy the experience and want to stay with us, we will arrange a short audition.
We rehearse on Tuesdays at 7.30pm, at St Andrews Church, Caversham in Reading.
If you are interested, please contact: membership@readingbachchoir.org.uk or go to the 'Sing with Us' tab at the top of this page and select 'Join the Choir' and 'FAQs'.
