Madrigal Singers

Description: The Madrigal Singers is a premiere vocal ensemble of 16-20 members, which performs a wide variety of a cappella repertoire, focusing on period-appropriate renaissance madrigals, motets, and carols. The Madrigal Singers are well known throughout Belmont for their activity during the Holiday season, primarily at the town Tree Lighting and other caroling appearances throughout Belmont, Cambridge, and Watertown. This ensemble rehearses weekly during the Fall in preparation for a rigorous performance season in December and the potential for more performances in the Spring.
