Reading Musical Foundation

Over 80 years old, RMF is a public charity that provides financial support for music presenters in Berks County, music scholarships by audition and in response to financial need, and extensive music outreach, including programs in most of Berks County’s public and parochial schools.

Recipients of RMF’s scholarship auditions are invited to participate in a newly created concert series at Trinity Lutheran Church in downtown Reading! Students will be selected on a first-come, first-served basis, with 15 spots available per concert.

Exciting news, RMF has merch! Celebrate your love for music and show your support for RMF’s by sporting t-shirts, bags, mugs, and more (additional styles and colors available on our shop).

RMF’s scholarship program allows student musicians across Berks County to receive need-sensitive awards to begin or continue their music studies, as well as provide audition-based merit awards for students to be recognized for their musicianship and commitment to their music studies.

RMF is the region’s largest provider of music scholarships, awarding more than $200,000 annually in merit awards as well as need-sensitive awards for private music study, instrument upgrades, and experiences like summer music camp.
