Jackson, Tenn. - Quink, the internationally-acclaimed Dutch vocal
ensemble, will perform a guest concert in the Recital Hall in Penick
Academic Plaza at Â鶹ÊÓƵ University, Tuesday, Feb. 22 at 7:30 p.m.
"We are very fortunate to have a group of such high caliber here
at Â鶹ÊÓƵ," said Terry McRoberts, associate professor of music and
recital coordinator in the Department of Music at Â鶹ÊÓƵ.
In existence as a professional ensemble since the late seventies, Quink
has a well-established reputation for captivating audiences worldwide with
expressive programs of varied repertoire.
The quintet's repertoire varies widely and consists of a cappella music
of Renaissance and Baroque as well as works by Romantic composers. Quink
often performs folk song and close harmony arrangements and it concludes
its performances with lighter audience-pleasing arrangements. Quink has
introduced many new works both of established and modern masters, and a
number of contemporary Dutch, German and American compositions have been
dedicated especially to Quink.
Quink received its first international recognition when the group was
named finalist in a major music competition in Europe. Since then, Quink
has been invited to perform on important series at home and abroad.
