Event Details

Chicagoland's Unique Madrigal Singers Come to Woodridge!

Journey back in time with The Elizabethans to the England of Queen Elizabeth I. Imagine yourself as a guest at one of the castles whereyou are entertained by instruments, dancing, and madrigal singing. 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.
