The 23 student musicians in the 2019-2020 Madrigal Singers were selected, through a competitive taped submission process, to participate in the 2020 Illinois Music Education Association All-State Convention (IMEC) in January in Peoria. Appearing at a State or National convention is widely considered the pinnacle of performance excellence for a high school ensemble.
Previous convention appearances for the DGS Madrigal Singers include IMEC in 2011 and 2016 and at the Illinois Fall ACDA Convention (2014) and the ACDA Central Division Conference (2016.)
"This is a tremendous honor for District 99 and for South High School." said Fine Arts Department Chairman Glenn Williams. "It's a credit to our student musicians that the South High Madrigal Singers have been selected to perform at the 2020 IMEC All-State Conference."
In addition to the current members of the ensemble, student musicians from recent years contributed to the process by being a part of the submitted audition recordings. The Madrigal Singers are directed by Joy Belt-Roselieb. Dr. Ricardo Pedroza is the collaborative pianist for the ensemble.
The Madrigal Singers will perform for the 2020 IMEC All-State Conference on Thursday, January 30, 2020 at 4:15 PM at the Scottish Rite Cathedral in Peoria.
