Salve Regina Madrigal Singers, High Tea at St. Columba’s Chapel

Under the direction or of Don St. Jean, the Madrigal Singers of Salve Regina University gave an intimate concert recently, ranging from Spanish Renaissance ( Louis David) to traditional carols, such as “The Carol of the Bells, “ to Handel’s "Messiah" at the Edward King Center. Under the direction of Mr. St. Jean, the choir sang a “Prayer for the Chldren”, and such sing-a- longs as “Deck The Halls”, ending with the massive “Hallelujah” chorus from “The Messiah” of G.F.Handel.
