Polyphony Plus is a Tacoma-based professional choir founded by Dr Anne Lyman. We perform music from all eras that highlights polyphony. Our programs span the centuries but are mostly dedicated to early music.
What is polyphony?
Polyphony is: “the style of simultaneously combining a number of parts, each forming an individual melody and harmonizing with each other.”
This is what we do! With our music, with our voices, we invite YOU to be a part of the polyphonic experience.
