Notes about Eugene Gordon KUYPER

Henderson State University: :Kuyper came to Henderson in 1952. Upon his appointment as choir director, he started a non-credit choral group called the Madrigal Singers, who presented programs of madrigal music while seated at candle-lit tables. Over the years, the performance evolved into the annual Madrigal Feaste, the Henderson Christmas kick-off staple that draws capacity crowds to three nights of performances. Kuyper taught applied voice lessons until he retired in 1972.
Kuyper is a member of the Arkadelphia Philharmonic Club and was named Musician of the Year in 1981. He is also an active member of the National Association for Teachers of Singing and attends state and regional conferences whenever possible. He is an active member of First United Methodist Church Choir. He and his wife, Adrianna, have two daughters, Judy Jacob and Karen Poe, and three sons, David, Lee, and Clark. Four of their five children graduated from Henderson. The Eugene Kuyper Fund for the Henderson Choir, an endowed scholarship, provides financial support for a vocal student each semester.
