Oregon High School’s annual Madrigal Dinner is Friday, Dec. 7, and Saturday, Dec. 8.

Dinner begins at 6 p.m. in the dining hall at Lutheran Outdoor Ministries (LOMC), 1834 S. Ill. 2, Oregon.

“The students have been working hard preparing their music and are looking forward to celebrating an evening filled with song and good cheer with your family and friends at this year’s annual Madrigal Dinner,” said Madrigal Choir Director Mitch Lauer.

Ticketholders will see a dinner theater re-enactment modeled after the feasts of the Renaissance when lords and ladies of large manors would prepare huge holiday celebrations.

The meal will be divided into courses, each of which will be introduced with traditional instrumental fanfares and songs, along with a variety of musical and comedic performances by Oregon High School students throughout the evening.

 The cost to attend is $15 per person which includes dinner and the performance.

Make checks payable to OHS Madrigals.
