Inside Seraphic Fire

Florida's Only GRAMMY-Nominated Vocal Ensemble is Performing Right Here in Naples

Seraphic Fire performs to a sold-out crowd at Moorings Presbyterian Church.

If you live in Naples, Florida and love the arts, chances are you have attended a concert at Artis–Naples, enjoyed a performance by the Naples Philharmonic, or experienced a show at the new state-of-the-art home of Gulfshore Playhouse, one of the brightest additions to the city's vibrant cultural scene.

But what if we told you that Florida’s only GRAMMY-nominated professional vocal ensemble performs five times a year right in your own backyard?

Introducing Seraphic Fire, a nationally recognized professional choir based in Florida, known for its stunning interpretations of classical masterworks, gospel, and folk traditions. While many associate us with Miami, what most Naples residents do not know is this: Seraphic Fire performs a full concert series each season at Moorings Presbyterian Church, just 10 minutes north of downtown Naples.

And once you hear us in that glorious acoustic space, you will never forget it.


Not Just a Miami Arts Organization

We hear it all the time: “I thought you only performed in Miami.”

That is understandable: Seraphic Fire was founded in South Florida and has strong roots in Miami, Coral Gables, and Ft. Lauderdale. However, our presence in Naples has grown significantly over the years, and today, we proudly offer five full-length performances each season in Naples as part of our South Florida concert series.

This is not a tour stop - it is a cornerstone of our season.


Why Naples?

Moorings Presbyterian Church is one of the most acoustically stunning venues in Southwest Florida. Located just a short 10-minute drive from downtown Naples, the church offers clarity, warmth, and resonance that make every note from our ensemble shine.

There is no massive venue and no bad seat, just pure, powerful sound. Our GRAMMY-nominated vocal ensemble thrives in this intimate and beautiful setting, and Naples has proven to be one of the most musically vibrant communities we serve.

Naples is a city of discerning taste. From classical music lovers to snowbirds seeking culture with substance, Seraphic Fire offers an intimate, world-class experience led by elite vocalists and guest conductors from across the country.


What to Expect in Naples This Season

This 2025–2026 season, Naples audiences can experience five unforgettable concerts, each one different in style and substance:

  • Bach Motets (November) — Baroque masterpieces with period instruments.
  • ’Twas the Night Before Christmas (December) — A new twist on beloved carols and holiday cheer.
  • Gospel (January) — Soul-stirring music from the Black church tradition, led by renowned conductor Jason Max Ferdinand.
  • American Folk (February) — Appalachian hymns, folk ballads, and the roots of American song.
  • Candlelight (March) — A breathtaking, immersive concert lit entirely by candlelight, featuring guest conductor Arianne Abela's Seraphic Fire debut.
