MADRIGAL MADNESS
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 19 @ 7 PM
St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church in Hillsborough, NC
Step into an evening of music, merriment, and Renaissance mischief as Paradox Opera transforms St. Matt's into a festive 16th-century court for one night only (metaphorically)! Join us for our year-end Madrigal Fundraiser featuring a brilliant vocal quintet performing lively, colorful madrigals throughout the night.
This isn’t just a concert — it’s an immersive mini-festival! Enjoy three musical sets woven between moments of courtly games, live trivia, and a raffle full of delightful prizes. Partake in light refreshments, meet the artists, and join fellow nobles in supporting Paradox Opera’s 2026–2027 programming, including new works, community events, and free music initiatives.
