We have a wide range of Activities and Special Interest Groups.   Go to our Groups and Special Interest pages where you can explore our groups and contact the group organiser if you have any questions.  Some groups allow people who are not members of Reading u3a to attend a meeting of the group as a guest to get a flavour of Reading u3a activities.

Ruth Ascher was a much loved, gifted musician and teacher and a member of Reading U3A. She had an extraordinary life, escaping from Nazi Germany at the age of 19, settling in England to pursuer a career in music.  When Ruth died in 2010 at the venerable age of 97, she left a legacy to Reading U3A and we feel sure that she would approve of our decision to use part of it to help promising young musicians to develop their skills whilst experiencing the atmosphere of public performance. 

We are also sure that Ruth would be very happy that we have secured the services of Anthony Williams M.Mus GRSM(Hons) DipRAM ARAM, Pianist, Teacher, Adjudicator, Music Educator and ABRSM Examiner , who recently retired as Head of Keyboard and Instrumental Music, Radley College, to conduct the eighth in our Ruth Ascher Piano Masterclass Series. 

Application forms to participate in the Ruth Ascher Piano Masterclass are now being received. Copies are available from the Reading u3a web site. 

 See Further Information on the Masterclass
