20 YEARS OF MADRIGIRLS
Madrigirls celebrates 20 years in 2020/21 - an anniversary we didn't even dream of reaching way back in October 2000!
Madrigirls ran a successful Crowdfunder campaign in 2020 to raise funds to commission working artists and support them during the uncertain times of Covid-19. The money we secured was used to commission two new pieces of music for our 20th Advent carol concert in December 2020: a new setting of the medieval text There is no Rose by American composer Frank La Rocca, and a new wassail – The Wren King – from Glasgow-based composer Emily Doolittle. In October 2020, we also ran an open call out to writers to submit their work to be considered for the concert’s readings, with nine pieces chosen. The writers, who are all based in Scotland, received a performance fee as well as (hopefully!) a new platform for their work. The stream also featured artwork by Lithuanian artist Odeta Brazeniene.

Keep an eye out for news on our plans for more celebrations in 2021. More info coming soon!
