Holiday Entertainment Set:
Choral Concert and Madrigal

The Claremont Chamber Choir will be featured in a holiday concert at the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum on Tuesday, Dec. 2, a program including movements from the Spanish renaissance composer Tomas Luis de Victoria's Mass, written on the Christmas theme of shepherds and their animals. The ensemble also will perform the Trois Chansons by Claude Debussy, as well as a selection of seasonal carols.
The Claremont Chamber Choir, featuring two dozen student from The Claremont Colleges, is directed by Charles W. Kamm, assistant professor of music at Scripps College, and is sponsored by the Joint Music Program.
On Thursday, Dec. 4 and Friday, Dec. 5, holiday music and dining at CMC continues with the 26th anniversary celebration of Madrigal Feast, one of the College's longest and most enjoyable traditions.
This year's entertainment will again be provided by student-run a cappella groups from The Claremont Colleges: The Claremont Shades, Midnight Echo, and Women's Blue and White. In conjunction with traditional music, festivities, and attire, the evening performances will include medieval cuisine.
