Elizabethan Madrigal Singers

Elizabethan Madrigal Singers Student Choir at Aberystwyth University 🎶

MADs is the longest running society at Aberystwyth University. Est. 1950

We sing a wide range of music from Madrigals to modern day! Formed in 1950, the Elizabethan Madrigal Singers (or more fondly known as 'Mads') is the longest running society in Aberystwyth University. This auditioned choir was started by a group of friends who wanted to sing madrigals; however over the past 60 years the repertoire has broadened to cover sacred, secular, folk, jazz, and spiritual pi

eces. The choir soon evolved to become seen as the university's prime chamber choir and now holds a prestigious and extensive history. Each generation of Mads brings something new, but always holds true to the traditions of the choir, primarily the continuation of high standards and dedication. As a chamber choir, we perform all pieces a ca****la and keep the number of singers relatively small (16-25 singers). Due to this, the choir always forms a strong bond, which is particularly strengthened by our annual residential course in Gregynog Hall, Wales. This entails a weekend away in the beautiful Gregynog Hall, rehearsing and singing for approximately 15 hours over the weekend, and taking part in small ensemble workshops. Alongside singing in and around the town of Aberystwyth, Mads go on tour every summer to places such as Sweden, Portugal, Budapest, Iceland, and Prague. This is a great opportunity to share our music with other countries, not to mention a great deal of fun.

Songs in the Park

Head to Rowntree Park on Tuesday 2nd June from 4.30pm to around 6.30pm for a relaxed free afternoon of live music.

We’re delighted to be joined by The Elizabethan Madrigal Singers from Aberystwyth University, the university’s longest-running student society and chamber choir. Founded in 1950, the choir performs a wide range of a ca****la music, from Renaissance pieces and folk songs to contemporary arrangements and modern favourites.

Expect a varied programme with something for everyone, all performed in the relaxed surroundings of Rowntree Park.

Find them in a railed garden at the centre of the park. Bring a blanket, a camping chair, a picnic, or simply wander through and enjoy the sounds as you soak up a summer evening in the park. Free to attend and everyone is welcome.

No booking needed - just come along and enjoy some Songs in the Park
