RCS is a non-audition, multi-generation community chorus with members from the Wakefield, Reading, Lynnfield, Stoneham, Wilmington, Woburn, Burlington,  Medford and Melrose areas.  We have members with years of experience and members who haven’t sung a note in years.  All interested singers who can match pitch and carry a tune are welcome to join us.  All voice parts are needed.  We perform in early December and again in early May.

In past years, RCS participated in the Reading Tree-lighting celebration, Reading Street Faire and the YMCA holiday party.  We also sing the National Anthem at a Lowell Spinners and NE Revolution game each summer.  This year , we are also planning a New York City concert weekend in late June where we may be singing at the Statue of Liberty,  Lincoln Center and/or St. John the Divine. If you join this fall, you are eligible to join us! Registration for the trip ends 9/15/12.
