Madrigals at Chamber of Commerce By Joe Gilmor

Just weeks ago, the PTHS Madrigals wrapped up this year’s Christmas festivities with one final concert, this time performed at the Elks Club for members of the Chamber of Commerce. The concert was a great success, and showcased some of everyone’s favorite Madrigal pieces, such as “Silent Night” and “O Come All Ye Faithful.” While the singers were undoubtedly tired from the Madrigal Dinners, which took place only a week before the event, it certainly didn’t show in their tone. The singing was wonderful and a great way to end the holiday season. While the Madrigals were all ready to get some rest throughout Winter Break, they decided to end the year with a bang, and truly gave this one last concert their all. Now, the Madrigal singers are already hard at work learning their music for the Route 66 Choir, which they can’t wait to debut this spring.
