presented

The Third Annual
Madrigal Festival 2001

Madrigal Groups from four South Jersey high schools (Cherry Hill East, Moorestown, Haddonfield and Collingswood) participated in the third annual Rutgers-Camden Madrigal Festival on November 14, 2001.

In addition to delighting the audience and each other with their own performances, which included both Renaissance dance and acapella madrigals, the students attended a concert by acclaimed early music soprano, Dr. Julianne Baird, organizer of the Madrigal Festival.

Julianne Baird and trumpeter Darin Kelly performed "The Great Soprano-Trumpet Duel," a nod to the popular 18th century competitions which pitted singers against trumpeters in matters of breath control, ornamentation and range.
