About Us
Sine Nomine is a twenty-four voice auditioned chamber choir based in Fall River, MA. Now in its 13th season, the ensemble 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. Drawing its members from southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island, the ensemble was founded by Glenn Giuttari. In fall 2006, Paul Cienniwa became Sine Nomine’s second director.
