The Pippins

Background

The Pippins is an SCA madrigal choir from Tree Girt Sea in the Midrealm (Chicago) that performs mostly pre-16th century madrigals, motets, rounds, and carols, with occasional forays into PDQ Bach. The Pippins were founded in 1996 and have been rehearsing and performing regularly since then.

The Pippins have received the Order of the Grove (arts award), and have taken 1st place in numerous Arts and Sciences competitions.

The Pippins perform primarily at SCA events, but also perform at Christkindlmarkt in Chicago and the Bristol Renaissance Faire, and are always looking for additional venues for performance.
