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. 13 and 14, the Madrigal Singers will entertain at the Royal Court in the theatre of the Grace Church, 19 Kings Highway East. 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, Tyler Mills, the 22 singers appear in magnificent period costumes as they present madrigal songs, pieces of vocal music that originated in France and England in the early 16th century. In October, the HMHS Madrigals took first place in a regional competition at the Renaissance Faire in Pennsylvania.
The Madrigal Singers have performed at the White House, New Jersey governor’s home, Drumthwacket, Washington National Cathedral, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Kimmel Center and Longwood Gardens.
The HMHS Madrigals Dessert Theatre performances are on Friday, Dec. 13 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 14 at 2. and 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 for all performances.
