USI annual Madrigal Feaste returns November 30 through December 3

The University of Southern Indiana Chamber and Women's Choirs will host the annual Madrigal Feaste Thursday, November 30 through Sunday, December 3 in Carter Hall, located in University Center West on the USI campus.

First performed in 1969 and USI's most enduring musical tradition, the Madrigal Feaste takes guests back to Fifteenth Century Ireland as the Choirs entertain 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.  

Tickets are $36 for USI students, seniors (60+) and children (K-12) and $42 for adults. To purchase tickets, visit www.USI.edu/madrigals or call 812-465-7047.
