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.
