The Madrigal Dinner draws its influence from the Middle Ages with a focus on choral music. The meal is divided into courses, each of which is heralded with a traditional song. A play is performed between the courses and a concert of choral music concludes the festivities. Renaissance costumes are encouraged but not required.
