Description

Sine Nomine, with Anne Lyman directing, opens its 17th season with a delectable pairing of songs by two of the greatest composers of the High Renaissance: Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (1525-1594) and Orlando di Lasso (1532-1594). We invite you to stay local in Rome, at the Cappella Giulia of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, with Palestrina’s serene, well-balanced and smooth-flowing musical lines. Then travel the European continent with the daring, impassioned music of di Lasso. Immerse yourself in all this beautifully crafted music! Then stay afterward and join us to enjoy a post-concert reception as we celebrate Palestrina’s 500th birthday!
