Because the current situation will inhibit the Madrigal Feaste from proceeding in the manner and style we all know and love, the Madrigal Feaste will not occur in 2021.

About USI's Madrigal Feaste
The University's most enduring musical tradition, the Madrigal Feaste showcases members of the USI Chamber Choir, who don period costumes and entertain with selections of old English and Irish Madrigals, folk songs and holiday choral selections.
A reenactment of a 15th-century royal feast, the entertainment also includes dancing and merriment on a grand scale. A collaborative effort, the Madrigal Feaste partners talented faculty and students with University Dining Services to choreograph an evening fit for a king.
