Prophetiae Sibyllarum, composed by Orlande de Lassus in the late 16th century, stands as a remarkable testament to Renaissance polyphony. This collection comprises thirteen motets, each representing a prophecy of a Sibyl. Lassus's genius shines through intricate chromaticism, vividly capturing the mystical essence of these prophetic utterances. The motets vary in mood and texture, ranging from solemnity to fervor, showcasing Lassus's mastery of expressive composition.

The Polyphonists (puh-LIH-fuh-nists) are a professional vocal ensemble founded from two households: soprano Amy Broadbent & tenor Matthew Hill, and mezzo-soprano Sylvia Leith & bass-baritone Edmund Milly. The word polyphony describes many independent voices interwoven in harmony, and that is our ethos: We are four soloists, but we come together to create music that transcends our individuality.
Since our debut in 2020, The Polyphonists have garnered a steady following and developed a reputation for sophisticated and broad-ranging programming. The Polyphonists were honored as National Finalists for The American Prize in Chamber Music Performance, 2023 (Professional Division), and have been featured in residence at the University of Maryland, Towson University, the University of Oklahoma, & Oklahoma Baptist University. Our repertoire spans from the early Renaissance through the current day, with a commitment to expanding the choral canon by premiering new works and shining a light on lesser-known gems of the repertoire.
