Christmas Crossover Carols

This Christmas, vocal quartet BrinCQ collaborates with some of the best amateur choirs in the Netherlands. Together with LGBTQ+ chamber choir Nexus, they will present a versatile Christmas program with music from the 20th and 21st centuries. Their repertoire ranges from jazz and barbershop to cabaret, light classical pieces, pop music and folk music. Of course, there will be traditional Christmas carol and – as has become a tradition at BrinCQ – the audience is encouraged to sing along.

Musical festivity

Vocal quartet BrinCQ, known for their harmonious singing, and ensemble Nexus – a selection from the renowned Amsterdam Gay Men's Chorus – will bring a program with a mix of age-old Christmas music: modern arrangements, familiar melodies, but also sing-alongs, so that there is something special to discover for everyone. From moving solos to captivating joint numbers from pop, jazz or cabaret: it promises to be a musical experience that will put everyone in a warm, festive mood.

About Nexus

Nexus is a vocal ensemble of 20 singers from the Amsterdam Gay Men's Chorus (AMSGMC), the largest LGBTQ+ choir in the Netherlands. The name Nexus means 'connection center' or 'focal point'; it is a place where AMSGMC singers can improve their singing skills in both small and solo settings, and where a greater diversity of repertoire is sung, including a capella music.

About BrinCQ

The quartet consists of soprano Charlotte Houberg, mezzo-soprano Karin Brunt, tenor Joost van Velzen and baritone Nathan Tax. Professional singers with a great passion for classical music and singing. And that name? Every Goois village has a brink, the central place where people meet. So does Bussum, their shared hometown! And perhaps even more fun or at least more appropriate… in Spanish 'brincar' also means 'playful' or 'uninhibited movement'. Let that be exactly what this quartet is looking for in music: to meet each other and make music together playfully and uninhibitedly!
