Sine Nomine

What:

The Humboldt Arts Council is pleased to host the quartet Sine Nomine on Sunday, December 6th at 1:00 p.m. at the Morris Graves Museum of Art. In conjunction with the exhibition Corpus Perspicuus: Transparent Body **in the Thonson Gallery, Sine Nomine will perform surrounded by the artwork and artists that inspired this performance.

Without a name, but with an absolute devotion to making music together, four voices combine to explore connection and creativity.

Sine Nomine sings a Samuel Barber piece in Thekla Hammond’s installation “Come With Me,” which is about alternating connection and separation in human relationships. Thekla Hammond sings soprano, Griff Hulsey sings tenor, Marguerite Barron sings alto, and Glen Leggoe is the bass/barritone. Each member brings to the sound extensive experience in choral, ensemble, jazz and solo singing.

The group concentrates primarily on Renaissance madrigals, early church music, and contemporary music both religious and secular. They perform for Bay Area music clubs, at wedding and memorial services, for Oakland Hospice, for museum openings in conjunction with art work, at house concerts in San Francisco and the East Bay, and frequently in Thekla’s studio just for the joy of sharing an afternoon of wine and song with others.
