The University of Southern Indiana Chamber Choir will host the 53rd annual Madrigal Feaste Thursday through Sunday, December 5-8, in Carter Hall, located in University Center West on the USI campus. Performances will begin at 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, December 5-7, with doors opening at 6:30 p.m., and the Sunday, December 8 matinee performance will begin at 1 p.m. with doors opening at 12:30 p.m.
First performed in 1969 and USI’s most enduring musical tradition, the Madrigal Feaste takes guests back to 15th-century Ireland as the Choir entertains with selections of old English madrigals, Irish traditional folk songs and carols, as well as stirring choral selections for the holiday season. Performances combine vocal and instrumental music, dancing, drama, elegant Renaissance garb and fine dining.
This year’s menu will include salad, soup of beef and barley, herb baked chicken and vegetables and bread pudding with rum sauce. Accommodations for dietary restrictions and allergies can be made by contacting 812-461-5237.
