Reading Choral Society

Reading Choral Society

The Reading Choral Society, located in Reading, PA and founded in 1875, is one of the nation's oldest musical ensembles. Edward A. Berg, the first director of the Society and who was ironically illiterate, helped the ensemble progress in its early years, in part due to his connection with prominent music figures of the time, including Theodore Thomas.

Peter Hopkins serves currently as the Society's 11th director.
