"The Madrigirls do for Madrigals what Liza Minnelli
did for Cabaret"
The Guardian - Hay Festival
The Madrigirls are an a cappella trio who sing 16th and 17th
Century madrigals. Madrigals are romantic songs written in several
parts which originated in 14th century Italy.
The Madrigirls are vibrant performers who boldly communicate
the timeless themes of these songs. The purity of their voices,
striking costumes and dramatic interpretations make for a vivid
and engaging performance.
The Madrigirls are Alexandra
Brown, Heloise
Pilkington
and Kate Tomlin.
Sexy, humorous and irreverently theatrical,
they bring the beauty and passion of these songs alive.
The Madrigirls are here to tell you that madrigals are happening
now. Part cabaret, part troubadour, part girl band
glamour, their powerful and engaging act has led them to perform
at a wide variety of venues and events, including Leighton House,
Tate Britain and The Wallace Collection.
They have put on beautiful concerts in historic churches such
as Southwark Cathedral and St Martin-in-the-Fields, stunned
clubbers at alternative venues, entertained at corporate events
and helped recreate an authentic atmosphere at Renaissance banquets. They
are also invited to perform at festivals all over the country
and are regulars at The Guardian Hay Festival and Port Eliot
lit fest, as well as enjoying sell out runs in The Edinburgh
Festival.
