How do you spell vocal excellence? "Many would say it should be 'Quink,'" declares The Seattle Times. Critical acclaim follows Quink everywhere, as the group amazes audiences with its extraordinarily expressive singing. A favorite of music festivals around the world, Quink is prized for its "elegant phrasing [and] impeccable intonation" (The New York Times) as well as its "superb range of vocal color" (Gramophone). Through imaginative concert programs and superb recordings - from music of the early Renaissance to tunes by Fats Waller - Quink reveals a refreshingly eclectic approach to the a cappella repertoire. Their Spivey Hall program, "Pour Vos Plaisirs" ("For Your Pleasures"), includes ravishing music of 16th-century France and Flanders, plus works by Samuel Barber, Gerald Finzi and an astonishing 1980 tour-de-force by Dutch composer Simeon ten Holt, Bi-Ba-Bo.

Program

Alexander Agricola, Clément Jannequin, Nicolas Gombert, P. de Villiers, Pierre de Manchicourt, Didier Lupi Second, Francois Roussel, Rolande Le Lassus, Pierre Bonnet, Samuel Barber; FINZI Three Short Elegies; SEIBER Three Hungarian Folksongs; and Dutch composer SIMEON ten HOLT'S contemporary tour-de-force, "Bi Ba Bo”
