NHS Singers Readying For Madrigal Feaste, January 22

Under the guidance of Newtown High School Choral Director Jane Matson, students in the high school’s Singers group have been working after school toward hosting their annual Madrigal Feaste scheduled to be held January 22 at Stony Hill Inn, 50 Stony Hill Road, Bethel.

This year’s Madrigal Feaste is set to “rob from the rich and give to the poor” in a Robin Hood theme. Tickets for adults cost $38 and for guests 2 to 10 years old, tickets cost $17. The event is the group’s yearly fundraiser for the NHS Choral Parents Scholarship Fund and Program Development.

The night will include dinner, entertainment, a silent auction, and “whimsical nonsense,” the flyer for the program promises.

Students involved in the upcoming production are Brenna Calderara, Katie Cummings, Maddie Dorso, Kendall Euler, Jake Eventoff, Josh Goldman, Ishaar Gupta, Kamryn Harmeling, Chris House, Chris Hunter, Mikaela Kemsley, Alison Kron, Matt Madden, Katie McMorran, Dan O’Connor, Sarah Poarch, George Primavera, Michelle Spanedda, Ben Stoller, and Taylor Varga.

Madrigal songs like “John Farmer’s Fair Phyllis” and more contemporary songs will be performed during the evening event.
