Watch West Aurora High madrigal concert Dec. 17
West Aurora High School's 34th annual madrigal concert will be presented at 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 17, on www.facebook.com/wachoir.
A school statement said the prerecorded concert will feature traditional music from past madrigal dinners, additional concert selections and traditional holiday carols.

The performance was recorded before the school's adaptive pause with appropriate distancing, masks and other COVID-19 precautions.
