ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ to hold 28th annual holiday Madrigal Feaste

The Holiday Madrigal Feaste at the University of Louisiana at Monroe is a grand tradition of Elizabethan England. The Feaste, a twenty-eight year old tradition in ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥, is scheduled for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, November 21, 22, and 23, 2002 in Brown Gym. Seating will be at 5:30 p.m. with dinner at 6:00 p.m.

The Galliard Brass usher in the guests with festive music played from the balcony. Brass fanfares introduce the different courses of the Feaste; a recorder consort plays Courtly music of the Renaissance.

After the meal, guests will hear holiday music. The ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ Chamber Singers will perform music appropriate to Thanksgiving and Christmas, as well as traditional Madrigal music. The entire evening is held in a castle setting complete with candles, glittering costumes and symbolic greenery.

The ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ School of Music and Auxiliary Enterprises collaborate to produce the Feaste. Tickets are $25 and everyone is invited.

For ticket information, call the School of Music at 342-1570. After 4:30 p.m., call 342-1569 to leave a message.

Each performance evening several locations will be reserved as scholarship benefit tables. The ticket price for these seats is $40 per person with $15 of the amount going toward scholarships for ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ students involved in the madrigal dinners.
