Christmas Music

My pal Sally Pettit sent this announcement:

Cabell Midland High School's Collegium Musicum will hold their 14th Annual Madrigal Dinner Friday and Saturday, Dec. 14 and 15 in the school feast hall. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Show and dinner start at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $15.00 each and include dinner, the play and concert. For more information, call 304 743-7400 ext. 7420 or visit CMHSCollegiummusicum.org

And let me just add that my family has made going to the Madrigal Dinner a Christmas tradition. The food is great, the play is always fun, and the music is fantastic.

The group sings Renaissance-era songs (often a capella) dressed in the costumes of the era. The music is always terrific and you'll leave with a Christmas glow hanging around you (of course, drinking some wassail doesn't hurt).

(It's just spiced Apple Juice - but boy howdy is it good!)
