Get ready for an enchanting evening that will whisk guests back to the grandeur and merriment of the Renaissance Era! We are thrilled to announce our FIRST ANNUAL MADRIGAL DINNER, hosted by the talented Academy Singers this December 6 and 7th. This is not just an event; it’s a royal celebration that guests won’t want to miss!

Imagine guests stepping into a majestic castle, where they will be welcomed as honored guests in the King and Queen’s Royal Court. Picture them surrounded by the sights and sounds of Yuletide festivities, complete with jesters, minstrels, and nobles all dressed in splendid Renaissance attire. As they dine on a sumptuous four-course meal, each dish will be introduced with a traditional song, creating an immersive experience that’s both festive and unforgettable.

Madrigal music, the soul of this event, was the heartbeat of the Renaissance. This secular vocal genre, rich in poetic lyrics and performed a cappella in polyphonic harmony, will transport guests to a time when music painted vivid stories and emotions. Academy students are working hard to master this beautiful and intricate style, and they can’t wait to showcase their skills in both song and theater.

But that’s not all! This Madrigal Dinner is more than just a magical night out—it’s also a wonderful way to build community and support our students. Proceeds from this event will directly fund our Academy Singers’ annual national tour, helping them compete at the highest levels and gain invaluable experience.

Guests are promised an evening filled with laughter, music, and a few delightful surprises!
