Share music, food and goodwill to celebrate the winter holiday season with Bastyr's Choir. This is a dinner and concert set in the Medieval-Renaissance period when madrigal singing was popular in England. Performers will wear period costumes and perform mostly period music. The evening will have a uniquely Bastyrian flare to include fairies, multi-cultural music and dance. During dinner, musicians and other performers will provide informal entertainment. Food will be served with a flourish of brass fanfare. After the meal, the Bastyr Choir will perform a concert of madrigals and holiday music from the balcony of Bastyr's acoustically marvelous chapel, and the audience will be invited to join in a sing-along of holiday carols. This Madrigal Feast will be the first concert given by the choir.
