This choir will perform a variety of music including a modern day madrigal comedy that appeals to young and old. “Madrigal comedy is something that you see with your mind, not with your eye,” director, Gladstone says. By tickling their funny bones with comedic lyrics, Gladstone also hopes to pique kids’ interest in music. “It’s hard to keep barriers up when you’re laughing,” he says. A popular type of Italian musical entertainment during the late sixteenth century, madrigal comedies were performed by chorale groups and dealt with everyday events, such as women gossiping at the laundry. 

This top UW choir has designed a program to appeal to all ages. To attract a family audience, this will be offered as a matinee.

Tickets are $15, $10 Adult, $5 Senior and $2 Student in Advance
