The Elizabethans is nominally a madrigal [[:Category:Groups|group]], but in truth they don't sing too many madrigals.  They're really a group that sings an almost completely non-pop repertoire, focusing on anything that they find beautiful, intriguing, or humorous from the wide world of music outside of a beatbox.
 
  
Founded in Winter Study 1993, the 'bethans (as they call themselves) perform several times a year and tour New England every spring break. They are known for  their frequently challenging repertoire, their Renaissance performing garb, and their unfathomable obsession with sheep. CD titles include "The Food of Love," "Live From Albert Square," "Madrigal Inferno," and their latest, "Set Me as a Seal."

With 6-15 members, the Elizabethans sing sacred and secular choral music from the Middle Ages to the present. A large portion of their repertoire comes from the Renaissance, but they also sing folk songs, spirituals, jazz standards, and more. In addition to giving a concert at the end of each semester, they tour New England over spring break and produce a CD every two years. A dynamic and dedicated group, they currently have two devoted directors: [[Maia McCormick]] '14 and [[Jasmine Thomasian]] '15.
