Quintense is one of the most popular formations in the pop a cappella genre – and not just among vocal music fans. Since its foundation in 2015, the young Leipzig-based band has been inspiring audiences with a sound that is both moving and captivating. Five individual voices, each with their own color and personality, merge into a warm, groovy and homogeneous sound that always gives you goosebumps. “Quintense are honest, funny and convey an incredible amount of emotion,” Marcus Melzwig from the A Cappella Award Ulm sums it up.

With Christmas Around The World, the multi-award-winning ensemble now presents a Christmas program that goes far beyond well-known classics. The five singers open up a kaleidoscope of international sound colors and musical festive traditions. Christmas sounds different in every country – sometimes Nordic-clear and delicately shimmering, sometimes British-elegant with a touch of jazz, sometimes warm, melodic and familiar as in Central Europe. Quintense takes the audience on a musical journey around the globe, alternating between spherical moments and powerful soundscapes. An evening for all those who love Christmas – and for all those who want to rediscover its magic.

Even beyond this festive concert tour, Quintense is one of the most exciting voices on the a cappella scene. In their artful arrangements, they effortlessly blend pop, soul and jazz. The press praises their modern sound, their creativity and their impressive sensitivity for moods. No wonder the Leipzig-based ensemble has been celebrated for years as a “world-class high-flyer” and enchants audiences everywhere.
