Madrigals, under the direction of Laryssa Sadoway, is the premier auditioned ensemble at the CVHS, selected from juniors, seniors, and a very few select sophomores through a rigorous audition process.  These students study and perform advanced levels of choral literature composed specifically for small ensembles.  Each year they compete in high stakes choral competitions, including Northern California's prestigious Golden State Choral Competition, and routinely earn Superior ratings.  In 2018 Madrigals earned the honor of First Place Chamber Choir in the state of California.  Madrigals combine with A Cappella S/A and A Cappella T/B to form the advanced large ensemble at the school:  A Cappella.  Madrigals are the leaders and the public face of their choral music program, and serve as the "Musical Ambassadors" of CVHS.
