TERRE HAUTE — The Indiana State University Sycamore Singers will present its annual Yuletide Madrigal Dinners at 7 p.m. Dec. 11 and 12 in the Great Hall and Sanctuary of St. Stephens Episcopal Church at 215 N. Seventh St.
The madrigal feast, brought to England from Italy during the 16th century, was a type of private, often informal dining and singing entertainment at the castles and homes of the gentry.
Students dressed in Renaissance period costumes will present a variety of festivities throughout the evening, including royal toasts, the procession of the boar’s head, the presentation of a humorous and enjoyable play titled “Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let Down Your Heir,” and a concert of sacred, predominantly Christmas choral selections. Between the toasts and play will be a wonderful dinner of holiday cranberry salad, roast loin of pork, bread stuffing, roasted red potatoes, green beans, dinner rolls, dessert and an assortment of beverages, catered by Boo’s Crossroads Café.
The cost for this event is $30 per person, and reservations can be made by calling the Department of Music Choral Office at (812) 237-4590, or by coming to the Center for Performing and Fine Arts, Room 222, between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to make reservations in person. Payment for the reservations can be made by check, money order or cash. Credit cards cannot be accepted.
Tickets must be reserved and paid for by Dec. 10. Cancellations cannot be refunded.
