Visit 15th-century Europe and kick off the holiday season in medieval fashion with the University of Southern Indiana’s Madrigal Feaste at 7:30 p.m. December 3-5 and 1 p.m. December 6, in Carter Hall in the University Center.
The USI Madrigal Feaste is a reenactment of a renaissance royal feast that features the USI Chamber Choir, Women’s Choir and other talented students and faculty members. The 46th annual Madrigal Feaste is USI’s oldest musical tradition, and a festive way to begin the holiday season.
The performers will don period costumes, and entertain with selections of English Madrigals, Irish traditional folk songs, and choral selections for the holiday season. This year’s feaste is set in Renaissance Ireland.
The menu will include green tossed salad, hot wassail (spiced cider), soup of beef and barley, his majesty’s roasted chicken, holiday roasted potatoes, fresh steamed vegetables and bread pudding with rum sauce.
Ticket prices are $34 for adults and $28 for students and senior citizens, and may be reserved by calling 812-461-5237. Tickets also may be ordered online at http://www.usi.edu/madrigals.
