Surround Sound: A Powerful Finale to the Season

Seraphic Fire’s 2025–2026 season concludes with one of its most immersive and unforgettable concert experiences, Surround Sound. This extraordinary program places singers throughout the performance space, allowing audiences to experience choral music from every direction. Inspired by the polychoral traditions of Renaissance Venice, Surround Sound transforms the concert environment into a living instrument, where sound moves through the room with remarkable clarity, depth, and beauty.

Audience members consistently describe Surround Sound as one of the most powerful musical experiences of the entire season. The program highlights the precision, artistry, and expressive range that define Seraphic Fire’s signature sound, creating a performance that feels both intimate and expansive.

Honoring Patrick Dupre Quigley’s Extraordinary Legacy

This performance marks Patrick Dupre Quigley’s final concert as Artistic Director after 24 seasons leading the ensemble he founded in 2002. Through his artistic vision, Seraphic Fire grew into an internationally recognized vocal ensemble known for thoughtful programming, exceptional artistry, and meaningful community impact.

Patrick built an organization admired for its musical precision, warmth of sound, and creative programming spanning more than one thousand years of repertoire. His leadership helped shape the identity of Seraphic Fire and positioned the ensemble among the most respected professional choirs in the country.

In his recent reflection, Patrick shared that when asked about his favorite Seraphic Fire moment, his answer has always been the same: the next concert. That forward-looking mindset has defined Seraphic Fire since the beginning and continues to guide the organization today.

Patrick now transitions into the role of Artistic Director Laureate, remaining an important part of Seraphic Fire’s artistic future. He will return next season to conduct One for All in January 2027, a program celebrating more than one thousand years of music written for men’s voices.

We are deeply grateful for Patrick’s leadership, mentorship, and lasting contributions to the artistic excellence that defines Seraphic Fire.
