About Us
Sine Nomine, Southern New England's Early Music Choral Ensemble is an auditioned chamber choir based in Fall River, MA. Now in its 15th season, this community ensemble consists of twenty-one voices, and performs music from the Middle Ages through the 21st-century, with a special emphasis on a cappella repertoire. Sine Nomine has collaborated with the Boston Camerata and was featured at the 2005 Organ Historical Society National Convention. The group draws its members from across southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
