As part of Reading School’s 900th anniversary celebrations, alumni from our four Houses—East, School, West and County—will take to the stage in a unique Inter-House Music Competition on Sunday 21 September at 6:45pm at the Concert Hall, Reading Town Hall. This special edition brings together distinguished alumni who first discovered and developed their musical talents at Reading School. Many have gone on to remarkable success, including professional performances in the West End and beyond, yet they return to share the stage once more with fellow Old Redingensians. For some, it will be the first time in decades that they reunite and rekindle the musical bonds formed during their school days. 

Date: Sunday 21 September
Time: 6:45pm
Venue: Concert Hall, Reading Town Hall
Tickets: £25 Adult | £15 Concession

Highlights include:

🎺 East House alumni reuniting after 40 years to perform Vivaldi’s Double Trumpet Concerto, plus a cappella, big band and Les Misérables’ “Do You Hear The People Sing.”
🎻 School House with a thrilling mix of Ed Sheeran, Back to the Future and dazzling Piano 8 Hands performance.
🎶 West House presenting Bob Dylan classics, John Williams’ Raiders of the Lost Ark, and jazz standards with alumni and current students.
🎤 County House blending everything from Slovenian folk music and classical chamber duets to “Smooth Operator”.
