The 37th season of the Arts at Noon concert series continues Wednesday, October 1 at noon in the Cook-DeWitt Center on the Allendale Campus, with a performance by the Donald Sinta Quartet.

Formed in 2010, the Donald Sinta Quartet has quickly achieved international acclaim for its recitals, concerto performances and championing of the very latest repertoire from emerging young composers. Named after University of Michigan saxophone professor Donald Sinta, the group’s mentor, this saxophone quartet has distinguished itself on the competition circuit after becoming the first saxophone quartet to win first prize in the Concert Artists Guild International Competition in New York City. The group also won the Alice Coleman Grand Prize at the 2013 Coleman International Competition in Pasadena, California, and first prize at the North American Alliance Saxophone Quartet Competition in Arizona.

All Arts at Noon concerts are free and open to the public.
