The CHIEF October 2021

Fall Choral Concert

Music Department

By: Conrad Skrzpiec Madrigals 2021 Hey all! Welcome back! Class is back in session, and that means practices are back in full swing! The Music Department is certainly keeping busy, especially our very own PTHS Madrigals! These talented performers are practicing three days a week, every week, preparing for the upcoming performances. The fall concert will serve as a short preview for their main event: the Madrigal Dinners! Dinner and a show, live music, jokes, what more could you ask for? We’re excited to announce that the dinners will be returning, and we have some exciting news; the madrigals are changing venues! Rather than performing at the Elks Lodge as we have done for so many years, we are moving to the Eagle Theater in downtown Pontiac. The theater and other local businesses have been so kind as to provide us their spaces, and we’re so lucky to have such a thoughtful community! Come on down and support these fine folks at the fall concert here at PTHS on October 17th, and join us for the Madrigal Dinners at the Eagle Theater December 3rd and 4th, and with a matinee performance on the 5th! The Pontiac Township High School Choral Program proudly presented its Fall Choral Concert on Sunday October, 17th at 3:00pm in the Pontiac Township High School Auditorium. The event marked their first return to the stage since the Spring of 2019! Guests enjoyed energetic selections from the Concert Choir, two women’s ensembles Bel Canto and Cantabile, Men’s Choir and the Madrigal Singers. Music selections represented many different time periods and styles, along with a few surprises for a tremendous afternoon. The event was free to attend, but patrons could also purchase tickets for the 55th Annual Madrigal Dinners.
