Brought to England from Italy in the 16th century, the madrigal flourished during England’s Renaissance, becoming a favorite formof entertainment.
The Elizabethans sing, dance and play instruments, dressed in elaborate gowns designed after those worn by the Queen's Ladies-in-Waiting. Their repertoire ranges from Renaissance madrigals to contemporary choral works.
