Chamber Singers
 
    Bradley Almquist, Conductor
 
   

The MSU Chamber Singers are selected each semester from the Concert Choir. Specializing in the study and performance of early and 20th century music and music composed specifically for small choirs and vocal ensembles, they have presented concerts throughout the region. They also have performed during interest sessions on performance practice and choral style at the Kentucky Music Educators In-Service (1997, 2003).

In addition to the regular performances on campus and throughout the region, the Chamber Singers present a full-scale madrigal dinner each December. Initially employing a Renaissance theme, the dinner has become a regular feature of the greater Murray holiday celebrations entertaining over 175 people at each performance.

In 2004 the dinner will take a different theme and format as it transforms from a "Renaissance Feaste" in the Great Hall to a "Victorian Holiday Dinner" in the parlor of one, Mr. Bob Cratchett. Entertainments will include a guest fiddler, traditional carols, a children's choir, the reading of a Victorian ghost story, parlor games, a visit by a most famous uncle and, of course, the jolly saint in a red cloak. The dinner will be held in the grand ballroom of the Curris Center on the campus of Murray State University. For reservations please call (270) 809-6936. Seating will be limited.
