The music department will present its 47th annual Madrigal Dinner Jan. 13 and 14 in the Memorial Union Great Hall. Tickets for the event are on sale now.
The Iowa State Singers, Music Men and Musica Antiqua (pictured) groups will provide the musical entertainment, while Orchesis II will dance. The evening begins with a 5:30 p.m. social hour, followed by a trumpet fanfare procession into the feast at 6:30 p.m.
Musicians and dancers will be outfitted in Renaissance-era costumes, as will the king and queen and their court. Minstrels will stroll throughout the banquet hall, and a play featuring audience participation is planned.
Tickets for the event are $42 ($38 for students, seniors and groups). Orders are accepted by phone (4-8349), in person at the MU ticket office (Maintenance Shop) or MU front desk, and by mail (PDF order form).
