The Madrigal Chorale invites artists working in all media to showcase their work in conjunction with our Spring Concert on Saturday, May 20, 2023 at St. Paul's United Methodist Church in Rochester. The theme this year is “The Turning of the Hours,” highlighting seasons, cycles of the day and stages of life, for example. The exhibit will be curated by members of the chorale, who are seeking art with a fresh and unique perspective, with excellence as the common thread. Madrigal Chorale events draw a metro-Detroit audience representing a broad spectrum of knowledge and appreciation of the arts. 30% of all proceeds from the sale of the artwork will benefit the Madrigal Chorale.


Our first collaboration between the visual and performing arts was considered a great success by all who attended! A good percentage of the work displayed was purchased. We plan to expand the number of pieces on display this year, while continuing to offer a wide range of mediums and styles.
