The University of Southern Indiana Madrigal Ensemble will present the 44th Annual Madrigal Feaste December 5-8 in Carter Hall in the University Center located on the USI campus.
The reenactment of a renaissance royal feast will be held at 7:30 p.m. December 5-7 (doors open at 7 p.m.) and 1 p.m. December 8 (doors open at 12:30 p.m.)
The evening is a scripted event with processionals and music accompanying each item on the menu. This is USI’s oldest musical tradition, a festive way to begin the holiday season. This year’s event is set in Renaissance Ireland.
The USI Chamber Choir will entertain with selections of old English Madrigals, Irish traditional folk songs and carols, and stirring choral selections for the holiday season from a wide variety of European repertory.
This year’s menu will include tossed green salad, hot wassail (spiced cider), soup of beef and barley, his majesty’s roasted chicken, holiday roasted potatoes, and fresh steamed vegetables, bread pudding with rum sauce, tea and coffee.
