Rivarate sings a wide variety of repertoire, musicals, classical, rock and pop, folk, world or commissions. Whether it’s Mozart or Mercury, Palestrina or Porter, Jenkins or Joel, then there will be something for you to enjoy.

Under the professional guidance of our musical director, Sarah Scotchmer and supported by expert pianist, Pam Asbury, we sing for pleasure every week and give regular concerts to raise money for local charities.

An exciting group of about 100 singers welcomes men and women of all ages and experience.

“I can’t explain what a sense of elation I feel during and immediately after choir rehearsal”

“‘Enjoyable, challenging, motivating and re-energising after a day at work”

“I always come away from rehearsals contented and humming a song”

“I love being a small part of something amazing”


It seems a long time ago but here’s a lovely review of our concert in November from Bob Welch in The Henley Standard.
And so that’s another year of singing over and all that’s left to do is to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and best wishes for a Happy New Year in 2025!
Thanks to your generosity at our Christmas concert and in Caversham Precinct, we raised nearly £1000 for Launchpad Reading
