Madrigal Society

Our Society began in 1999 as four students singing Madrigals around a piano, but we have since evolved into a full chamber choir. We're an eclectic bunch who perform Renaissance madrigals and everything else that strikes our fancy. If you're up for a fast-paced, light-hearted rehearsal that gets your adrenaline going with challenging repertoire, this is your choir.

We tend to put our semester's work towards one major concerts per semester, but also sing in smaller gigs and casual performances throughout the year. Our 2022 semester 2 concert was titled Dreams of Galileo; our 2023 semester 1 concert The Forest at the End of the World, and our 2024 semester 1 concert The Odyssey. Some of our past engagements have been at the St. Ives Medieval Faire and Carols on Dangar Island.

If you are interested in singing with us, come along to one of our rehearsals on Tuesday evenings, 5-7pm! In 2025 we are in the Norman Gregg Lecture Theatre in the Edward Ford Building – you can also ping ahead on social platforms (Instagram and Facebook) or [email protected] to double check where we are.

We're non-auditioned and have a $0 join fee, so drop in any week to try us on for size! Experience reading music helps but is by no means required – we have singers who learn by ear.
