Madrigal dinner planned Nov. 12-13

AMERICUS--The lobby of the historic 1892 Windsor Hotel will be transformed into a 16th Century castle as the Georgia Southwestern State University Chamber Singers and the staff of the Windsor Hotel present the 16th Madrigal Dinner Friday, Nov. 12 and Saturday, Nov. 13. 

The Windsor lobby will be set as a dining hall in a medieval castle with seating limited to 100 people per evening who will dine on succulent pork loin stuffed with apples, nuts and raisins, as they are serenaded by the GSW Chamber Singers. 

Performers and hotel staff members will be dressed in authentic medieval period costumes of Elizabethan England when madrigal was a favorite form of entertainment. 

Dr. Julie Megginson will lead the singers as they perform. The Sumter Players Jesters will also provide entertainment. 

Dutch treat cocktails begin at 6 p.m. each evening with dinner and entertainment at 7 p.m. In addition to the stuffed pork, the menu will include a wassail bowl, crusty bread and assorted cheeses and fruits, cream of squash soup, roast chicken with cranberry relish, vegetables, and baked custard with walnut topping for dessert. A glass of wine and a cup of wassail are included. Price for the evening is $32.95 per person including tax and gratuity.
