About Us
​
Vox Philia is a premiere chamber choir located in Reading, Pennsylvania. Since 2013, the choir has been achieving regional recognition, performing works from a wide range of musical periods and styles.
​
While “VOX” refers to voice, “PHILIA” is one of four Greek words for love, specifically, the love between friends. Aristotle defined this love as a pure delight in one another's company, and more profoundly, as an enjoyment of one another's character, even wanting what is best for others at the expense of one’s self.
​
Vox Philia, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, performed its first concert in the Winter of 2013. Since then, Vox Philia has been performing concerts annually in both the Spring and the Winter.

~ ensure each performance nourishes and enriches the lives of both performers and listeners
~ donate a substantial portion of our ticket revenues towards charitable organizations, a real and tangible way of living up to our name
~ achieve recognition not only locally, but also regionally and nationally, capable of singing a wide range of music from various periods and styles, at the highest levels of technical and musical excellence
