The award-winning College of Charleston Madrigal Singers, conducted by Dr. Robert Taylor, will perform sacred and secular traditional holiday season carols. Each of the three evenings will be filled with Renaissance entertainment and a feast fit for royalty. The Renaissance menu will consist of Cornish hen, haricot vert, wild rice, apple caramel tart, coffee and wine. Wassail will also be served. Tickets are $60 each, sold in advance until three days prior to each respective performance. Seating is limited, and tickets will not be sold at the door. Reservations, (843) 953-8231.
The College of Charleston Madrigal Singers is an auditioned ensemble made up of students from the College’s Concert Choir that specializes in chamber music ranging from the Renaissance to the present. The Madrigal Singers are perhaps best known for their annual Yuletide Madrigal Feast and are also annually featured on the Early Music Series and the Young Artists at the College of Charleston Series in the Piccolo Spoleto Festival. They also frequently have performed and toured with Steve Rosenberg and Charleston Pro Musica, and they function as the community outreach arm of the choral program, frequently performing for various civic functions and charitable organizations.
