MTSU MUSIC SCHOOL WELCOMES TENNESSEE ORGANIST TIM HINCK IN CONCERT
Feb. 22 Performance Includes Composition Inspired by American Expressionist Motherwell

(MURFREESBORO)—The MTSU School of Music will welcome organist Tim Hinck, who will perform a free and open concert titled “The Development of the Organ Chorale” at 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 22, in the T. Earl Hinton Hall of the Wright Music Building on the MTSU campus.
The program will include Heinrich Scheidemann’s Galliarda ex d, Heinrich Scheidemann’s Erbarm dich mein, J. S. Bach’s Jesus Christus unser Heiland, Georg Böhm’s Vater unser im Himmelreich, Felix Mendelssohn’s Sonata No. 3, Jan Peterszoon Sweelinck’s Mein junges Leben hat ein Endt and Hinck’s very own Drunk with Turpentine.
Hinck‘s Drunk with Turpentine was written with a Baroque-style tracker instrument in mind, he said, and it works well even with many unequal temperaments. It was inspired by a series of paintings by the same name by American Expressionist Robert Motherwell.
A native Tennessean, Hinck began studying piano and composition at an early age and later also began studies on the violin. He has been active in classical, jazz and modern ensembles and has earned top prizes in various piano competitions.
As a teacher, Hinck has held active studios in both piano and violin and has produced both sacred and secular music for ensembles ranging up to full choir, with premiers in the U.S. and Europe. He continues to present concerts in the U.S. and Europe with various ensembles and as a specialist of early music on organ and harpsichord.
Currently, Hinck also oversees the development of the Netherlands-American Organ Forum, an organization aimed at connecting young American organists with the historical organs in the Netherlands. In the fall 2007, he was appointed as adjunct faculty of the Cadek Conservatory at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
