The La Jolla Renaissance Singers

Picture of the La Jolla Rennaisance Singers in concert

Since 1964, the La Jolla Renaissance Singers (formerly the UCSD Madrigal Singers) have been bringing the finest of early European choral music to the San Diego area. Based in La Jolla, California, the elite choir draws members from across the county.

The 25-member group performs a cappella vocal music written from the Middle Ages through the Renaissance, with occasional forays into the Romantic and Modern periods. In period costume, the group performs in concert halls, museums, and churches, as well as in libraries, parks, and for private parties.

The La Jolla Renaissance Singers rehearse weekly on Wednesday evenings in La Jolla. Since the group rehearses without accompaniment, sight-reading ability is essential.
