Sine Nomine is opening its 2020-2021 concert season with a virtual performance of English Renaissance music composed for small spaces and intimate settings. Singers have met over five weeks to learn about the music, history, and culture surrounding the recusant world of William Byrd. Our concert premiere will feature parts of Byrd’s ‘Mass for Four Voices’ as well as music by Morley, Tallis, Wilbye, and others. You will hear pre-recorded performances by our singers, view some singer testimonials, and even have the opportunity to sing-along yourself! There will be introductory comments by director Anne Lyman and an ongoing chat conversation during the concert.

About Sine Nomine: Renaissance Choir
The Renaissance choir Sine Nomine, directed by Dr. Anne Lyman, is a Community Collegium ensemble, part of the community outreach program of Early Music Seattle (EMS). Founded in 2008 by conductor Gary D. Cannon and singer/manager Pamela Silimperi, Sine Nomine is a mixed-voice chamber choir specializing in the fine performance of early music, including sacred and secular works from all regions. The ensemble’s repertoire ranges from the late Medieval to the Baroque, with special emphasis on Renaissance works of the 15th and 16th centuries. Most of the participants in Sine Nomine also sing in other choruses, ranging from church choirs to semi-professional ensembles.
Sine Nomine is a proud member of the Greater Seattle Choral Consortium (GSCC).
