About the choir
The Madrigal Choir of Binghamton has been known for its beautiful singing in New York’s Southern Tier for over 40 years. Rooted in a cappella music, the 45-voice auditioned choir, led by John M. Vaida, performs music from Palestrina and Gesualdo to Lauridsen and Whitacre for a faithful audience of all ages. The Madrigal Choir performs a variety of styles from medieval chant to Broadway, in languages ranging from Latin to Mandarin!
The Madrigal Choir rehearses in Binghamton’s beautiful Trinity Memorial Episcopal Church and performs there, along with other venues in the Southern Tier. The choir frequently performs with other area musical organizations including the Binghamton Philharmonic, the Binghamton Community Orchestra, the Trinity Choir, Simple Gifts, and others. Our singers of all ages are educators, physicians, pastors, SUNY professors and choir directors, to name a few, who enjoy coming together on Sunday afternoons to perfect our craft and immerse ourselves in the joy of singing and fellowship with one another.
A typical year includes Fall and Spring themed concerts, the annual Thanksgiving weekend Lessons and Carols performance, as well some special smaller events through the year.
