Cantare a Casa – At Home with Palestrina
Free
Sine Nomine's winter presentation (YouTube) will offer a peek into the beauty and elegance of the music of Italian Renaissance composer Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (1525-1594). This short virtual performance will feature a very brief talk by Director Anne Lyman, some selections from our 2020-21 virtual season, and a virtual choir performance of Palestrina’s beautiful Sicut cervus. Course participants met virtually over five weeks this winter to learn about the music, history, and culture of Palestrina’s time.
An ongoing chat conversation will be offered during the performance. We hope you can join us!
NOTE: The link for the presentation premiere will appear on the Sine Nomine YouTube channel a few days before Feb 27th, and is where you may currently view our 2020-21 season concerts.

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).
