The CHIEF November 2023

Madrigals 2023 By: Lilian Rainbolt

Christmas season is approaching, which means in addition to the cold weather, another annual Madrigal Singer performance is coming up! We had a copious amount of interest from the community this year with tickets, with all three nights completely selling out in just a few hours. Due to this high demand, in addition to the previously scheduled 6:30 pm dinners on Friday, December 1st and Saturday, December 2nd, as well as the Sunday matinee on the 3rd, there will be another specialized performance on Sunday night. This night will include the entire roster of songs sung by the Madrigal Singers; as well as the Court Singers, singing renditions of familiar carols such as “O Come All Ye Faithful,” “Greensleeves,” “We Wish You a Merry Christmas,” “Noel,” “Carol of the Bells,” “Silent Night,” and many more. This new concert performance will not include the play portion that would typically be viewed at the dinners, but drinks will still be available as well as quiche and dessert. Special thanks to the PTHS cafeteria staff who has generously stepped up to take charge of the kitchen duties this year. Mr. Durbin speaks on the progress of the Madrigal and Court Singers saying, “The students are working incredibly hard on the 57th Annual Madrigal Dinners and I couldn’t be more proud of their efforts.” We are so excited to share this year’s production with the community!
