Madrigal dinner tickets available Dec. 1

by Dave Gieseke, LAS Public Relations

The music department will present the 42nd annual Madrigal Dinners Friday and Saturday, Jan. 12-13, 2007, in the Memorial Union Great Hall. The room will be transformed into a candlelit 17th century banquet hall filled with the ambiance of a festive Renaissance English court.

In addition to guests, those "attending" the banquet will include dancers, jesters, strolling musicians, frolicking fools and gallivanting wenches.

Both evenings begin with a social hour at 5:30 p.m. The fanfare for dinner is at 6:30 p.m.

Tickets are $34 ($28 for ISU students, senior citizens and groups of 10 or more). Tickets may be purchased three ways:

Send a check made out to ISU Madrigal Dinner (no credit cards) to Madrigal Dinner Tickets, 115 Music Building, ISU, Ames, 50011.
