Madrigal Dinner

BHSU Music Department Presents...

A Madrigal Dinner

Audiences will be treated to a full evening of food, music, and theatrical entertainment in Clare and Josef Meier Hall at BHSU’s presentation of “A Madrigal Dinner." The Madrigal Dinner is an annual fund-raising event for BHSU’s music department featuring a small ensemble of 18 singers that specializes in performing early music each Fall semester. The singers, in Renaissance garb, will portray a sixteenth-century king, queen, and court who have invited the audience to a Christmas feast in the castle’s great hall, complete with a recorder ensemble, herald trumpeters, and a post-dinner concert. During the dinner portion of the evening, the court and the court jester will present a program with performances of several traditional carols including “The Boar’s Head Carol,” “A Wassail Song,” and of course, “Silent Night.”
