Reading Phoenix Choir have been busy during lockdown trying to keep ourselves in the best shape for whenever we are able to perform together again. It’s not the same but we have been having regular rehearsals via Zoom (as well as virtual pub quizzes!) and we have also recorded a backing track for the West Berkshire Virtual Community Choir so that they could perform I’d like to Teach the World to Sing.
