For the past five years, Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Carmel has been hosting a Madrigal Feast to raise proceeds for various charities, as well as feed and entertain hundreds of people. In the past years, proceeds have gone to various special needs schools and cancer research programs, including Voices of Hope. The event is put on by the church’s choir, which following this year’s feast on Dec. 6, will determine the charity that the proceeds will benefit.
“The feast is great,” said Bill Christoff, director of the church choir and the event. “The feast has grown tremendously each year they have done it.”
During the feast, the choir will perform an original medieval play, written by choir member Kathie Samuelson. In addition, the feast will also consist of a four-course meal prepared by some of the finest chefs in all the land, as well as wine and coffee proceeding the dinner. The Madrigal Feast has been a great way to bring people together to enjoy an evening of medieval fun and help the needy. It is a fantastic time that can be enjoyed by the whole family.
The public has two opportunities to attend this year’s Madrigal Feast on Dec. 6, at either 12:30 or 6 p.m., at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, at 3500 W. 106th St., Carmel. Tickets are $50 and available by calling the church office at 733-3033.
