The Haddonfield Memorial High School Madrigal singers invite you to step back in time for music and merriment of the season at their annual Dessert Theatre.
On Dec. 14 and 15, the Madrigal Singers will entertain at the Royal Court in the theatre of the Grace Church, 19 Kings Highway East, Haddonfield.
The show will feature songs and dances of the season, a comedy guaranteed to amuse and entertain, a wassail toast, the regal presentation of the Boar’s Head, and an elegant coffee and dessert buffet.
Under the direction of Haddonfield Memorial High School’s new choir director, Daniel Grayberg, the 20 singers appear in magnificent period costumes as they present madrigal songs, pieces of vocal music that originated in France and England in the early sixteenth century.
In October, the HMHS Madrigals took third place in a regional competition at the Renaissance Faire in Pennsylvania.
This year, the Madrigal Singers’ performance venues include Longwood Gardens and Tavistock Country Club.
In the past, they have sung at the White House, Washington National Cathedral, the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia and the New Jersey Governor’s home, Drumthwacket. M
embers of the Madrigal Singers and Chamber Choir have also toured and performed in Europe.
The HMHS Madrigals Dessert Theatre performances are on Friday, Dec. 14 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 15 at 2 and 7 p.m.
Tickets are $10 for all performances.
