Tickets are now on sale for the Yuletide Madrigal Feaste presented by the Indiana State University School of Music. Now in its 79th year, the ISU Madrigal Dinners are a re-creation of the Renaissance feasts held in the great baronial halls throughout England during the twelve days of Christmas.

Imagine yourself as an honored guest in sixteenth-century England, surrounded by dazzling pageantry, lively entertainment, extraordinary music, and a feast fit for royalty. Throughout the evening, you'll experience the unique blend of sacred and secular traditions that defined the Renaissance. One moment you'll enjoy playful, bawdy humor and spirited performances, and the next you'll be swept away by beautiful, ethereal sacred music featuring the Indiana State Sycamore Singers and Brass Quintet.

The meal, catered by Sodexo, will include traditional wassail, cranberry Christmas salad, roasted pork loin, breaded stuffing, roasted red potatoes, green beans, rolls, and black forest cake.   

Reserve your seats early as seating is limited to just 80 seats each evening. Tickets must be purchased in advance. There will be no ticket sales at the door, and no adjustments can be made on the night of the event. Secure your seats now before both evenings fill up.
