USI Chamber Choir presents 47th annual Madrigal Feaste and holiday concert

The University of Southern Indiana Chamber Choir will present the 47th annual Madrigal Feaste from December 1 - 4 in Carter Hall located in University Center West on the USI campus.

The Madrigal Feaste is a reenactment of a royal feast in Renaissance Ireland. The evening is a scripted event with processionals and music accompanying each item on the menu. The program is USI's oldest musical tradition and a festive way to begin the holiday season.

The USI Chamber Choir will entertain with selections of old English Madrigals, Irish traditional folk songs and carols, as well as stirring choral selections for the holiday season from a wide variety of European repertory. This year's menu will include green tossed salad, hot wassail, soup of beef and barley, roasted chicken, holiday roasted potatoes, fresh steamed vegetables, bread pudding with rum sauce, tea and coffee.

Tickets are $28 for USI students and seniors (60+) and $34 for adults and non-USI students. Doors open at 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 12:30 p.m. for the Sunday matinee. To purchase tickets, visit USI.edu/madrigals or call at 812-461-5237.
