Quince Ensemble (sometimes referred to as Quince Contemporary Vocal Ensemble) is a contemporary treble vocal ensemble that specializes in contemporary classical music. In 2010, founding members, Amanda DeBoer Bartlett and Kayleigh Butcher met at a Neko Case concert in Bowling Green, Ohio while attending Bowling Green State University. Focusing on an all-female group, the two assembled a five-member ensemble consisting of McKayela Collins-Hornor, Aubrey von Almen, Liz Pearse, Kayleigh Butcher, and Amanda DeBoer Bartlett within a year. [1] [2] As performance schedules became more demanding, Aubrey and McKayela left the group, [3] and Carrie Henneman Shaw of Ensemble Dal Niente joined the ensemble, resulting in the current quartet roster. [4]
Quince has since performed extensively throughout the United States, performing primarily new music works by 20th and 21st century composers including: David Lang, [5] Morton Feldman, [6] and Steve Reich [7] and most recently, Jennifer Jolley, [8] Evan Williams, Paul Pinto and Kate Soper. [9]
Quince is signed to New Focus Recordings, and has released two albums with them. [10] In July 2017, Quince's Hushers was judged "Critic's Choice" by Opera News [9] and they were named "the Anonymous 4 of new music." They have also collaborated with high-caliber artists and ensembles such as Eighth Blackbird, [11] Third Coast Percussion, [1] Ensemble Dal Niente, and Laurie Anderson. [12]
