International Dutch Vocal Ensemble to Perform

02/05/2018 11:45 AM

Quink, the internationally renowned Dutch vocal ensemble, will perform Tuesday, February 27, at 7:30 pm, in Bradley University’s Dingeldine Music Center, 1417 W. Barker, in Peoria. There is no charge for admission.

Quink is a remarkable mixed quartet of Dutch singers whose special style captivates its audiences with expressive a cappella programs of a varied and beautiful repertoire. The current members of Quink, who are also experienced soloists, find themselves at home in many areas of the a cappella repertoire, performing in authentic style music from early Renaissance to music of our own time.

The group’s recordings have been praised by the New York Times and Gramophone magazine among others. Gramophone said, “the blend is that of singers who have worked together for decades: even, balanced, finding all the light and shade…” 

Quink has performed throughout Europe, Israel, Singapore, the United States, and Canada. The Philadelphia Inquirer said, “The group has a tight, polished sound. The surface of the music glistened, and the intonation was flawless. Only practiced musicians who additionally are humble enough to allow their voices to be included within the whole sound can create such music.” 

Quink will also present a master class for the Bradley Chorale on the same day from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. at Westminster Presbyterian Church, 1420 W. Moss Ave. (near the Bradley campus) in Peoria. The class is free and open to the public.

Quink is sponsored by the Bradley Music Department and the Bradley Intellectual and Cultural Affairs Committee.
