A Special Message from Dr. Danny M. Yanez, Executive Director
December 2024
Thank you for being an invaluable part of the Seraphic Fire community. You have helped us continue our mission to shed new light on underperformed musical works and provide transformative educational programs that enrich our community.
This year has been one of remarkable achievements and growth for Seraphic Fire, including:
- The debut of our High School Professional Choral Institute, a new program for aspiring young musicians across Miami-Dade County;
- The addition of distinguished scholars and lecturers to our season programming, enriching our performances with deeper insights;
- Continuing our educational impact to reach over 3,600 Title I students across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Collier counties.
At this pivotal time in Seraphic Fire’s history, I am honored to step into the role of Executive Director, leading an organization that continues to innovate and inspire through choral excellence. However, this moment also brings significant challenges. Due to recent cuts in state and local funding, we, along with several local arts nonprofits, face a substantial shortfall of $150,000 this fiscal year. This funding is critical to our programming, and now, more than ever, we rely on support from individuals like you who believe in the power of music to transform lives.
In this season of giving, I hope you will consider a gift to help us overcome this funding shortfall and continue bringing exceptional artistry and vital educational programs to our community.
Thank you for being a vital part of our journey. Together, we can safeguard the future of choral music and expand its reach for generations to come.
With gratitude,
Danny M. Yanez, Ed.D., CFRE
Executive Director
