Founded in 2002 by Artistic Director Patrick Dupré Quigley, professional chamber choir Seraphic Fire has garnered critical acclaim both locally and nationally.

The group has rapidly gained a reputation as “the smartest, most creative and consistently excellent classical music ticket in South Florida,” according to The South Florida Sun-Sentinel. International classical music magazine Gramophone called Seraphic Fire “one of the most exciting and unexpected developments on the local scene . . . chamber choir Seraphic Fire . . . has quickly become one of the top attractions in the region. No group programmes more adventurously,” On Dec. 21, 2007, Seraphic Fire made its debut at the Knight Concert Hall at Miami’s Carnival Center for the Performing Arts, with a sold-out performance of Handel’s Messiah.
Short Project Description:
To build a little league-like network of youth choirs across Miami-Dade.
The Miami Choral Project will create a little league-type network of choral ensembles throughout Miami-Dade County, at no cost to participants. With an emphasis on low-income areas, the project will be based on two models: Venezuela’s National System of Youth Orchestras, with 250,000 participants, and Pop Warner Football, which requires consistent academic improvement of its players. Eventually, a regional chamber choir will bring together the most gifted young singers. The project’s long-term goal is to see large-scale participation in free choral ensembles nationwide, with local and national honor choirs creating a sense of unity across the United States. Amount:
