Subscriptions for the 2026–2027 season go on sale Thursday, April 9, and this is the ideal moment to secure your seats for one of the most exciting seasons in Seraphic Fire’s history. As Florida’s only GRAMMY-nominated professional choir and the Miami Herald’s Favorite Nonprofit selected from more than 10,000 organizations across Miami-Dade County, Seraphic Fire continues to set the national standard for vocal excellence.

With GRAMMY Award-winning conductor Dr. James Bass stepping into the role of Artistic Director, the upcoming season introduces a bold artistic vision while preserving the extraordinary musical quality audiences have come to trust for more than two decades.

Subscribing early is the best way to guarantee the best seats before individual tickets go on sale.


Priority Seating Starts April 9

Subscribers receive first access to preferred seating locations across all venues. Many returning patrons secure their favorite seats each year, which means availability becomes limited quickly once single tickets go on sale.

By subscribing early, you can lock in your ideal seats in Miami, Coral Gables, Ft. Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and Naples, and enjoy the confidence of knowing your concert schedule is set well in advance.

For audiences who value consistency, comfort, and the best listening experience, early subscription remains the smartest choice.


A New Artistic Chapter with GRAMMY Winner James Bass

The 2026–2027 season marks the first full season curated by Artistic Director James Bass, a GRAMMY Award-winning conductor whose longstanding relationship with Seraphic Fire brings both continuity and fresh perspective. His programming highlights the ensemble’s versatility while expanding the artistic scope of future seasons.

Each concert program explores a distinctive theme while showcasing the expressive power of professional voices at the highest level.


A Season of Exceptional Repertoire

The season opens with Serenade to Music in October, a celebratory program that reflects the transition in artistic leadership while introducing works new to Seraphic Fire audiences.

November’s Blue Notes explores the rich harmonic language of American jazz standards made famous by Nat King Cole, Etta James, and Cole Porter, presented with a live jazz combo that brings a new dimension to the choral experience.

The holiday season returns with Noel: An Old-World Christmas, a candlelit tradition featuring beloved carols rooted in Medieval and Renaissance repertoire alongside seasonal favorites.

In January, One for All highlights the depth and resonance of the tenor and bass voices, presenting more than a thousand years of music written for men’s ensembles and revealing the power and warmth of the lower vocal ranges.

February’s Northern Lights captures a sense of stillness and wonder through luminous choral textures, including selections from Philip Glass’s groundbreaking work Einstein on the Beach and other contemporary works that explore atmosphere and reflection.

March brings American Poets, honoring voices recognized in the National Garden of American Heroes, with texts by Walt Whitman, Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, and other literary icons whose words continue to shape American identity.

The season concludes in April with Misa Criolla, a vibrant fusion of Latin American musical traditions and classical form. This rhythmically compelling work blends choral writing with traditional Argentinian instruments, bringing the season to an energetic and memorable close.

Together, these seven programs reflect the artistic depth and creative ambition that define Seraphic Fire.


Recognized by Audiences Across South Florida

Being named Miami-Dade’s Favorite Nonprofit reflects the strong connection between Seraphic Fire and the community it serves. Audiences consistently praise the ensemble’s precision, warmth, and emotional impact, qualities that have helped position the organization among the most respected vocal ensembles in the United States.

Concertgoers return year after year because the experience is both artistically excellent and deeply personal.
