RCR Singers at The Lantern PDX

The Madrigal from Italy to England

The Lantern, 2828 SE Stephens Street, Portland

For our spring concert we will be embarking on an exploration of the madrigal — the Italian origins through to the second wave in England. Join us at a very special location in southeast Portland: The Lantern. This gorgeous mid-century church has been recently reworked as a community grief center, and we are honored and delighted to be the first early music ensemble to ever perform here. Only Portland could hold an event this classy in a space this beautiful … come and close your eyes and experience what this music can evoke.

Tickets on sale soon.

$35, with a reception of small bites and wine before the curtain.
