Quink Vocal Ensemble Saturday, Feb. 3, 2007, 7:30pm
Program to include renaissance, baroque, and contemporary selections.
The five professional singers of Quink have developed a unique sound that allows them to illustrate with style and expressiveness the great variety of a cappella music. Quink's repertoire varies widely and consists of a cappella music of Renaissance and Baroque as well as works by Romantic composers. Moreover, the ensemble often performs folk songs and close harmony arrangements and it concludes its performances with lighter audience-pleasing pieces.  The ensemble is often heard on radio and is also invited to appear on national and international TV. Quink is a welcome guest at music festivals all over the world. Quink's first United States tour in 1985 was so artistically successful that it often tours the US twice a year. — http://www.quink.nl/
