Something exciting is happening in Naples.
Last season, Seraphic Fire’s Naples audience doubled, as more Southwest Florida music lovers discovered the extraordinary sound of one of the country’s leading professional vocal ensembles.
This season, we’re coming back with more.
Seraphic Fire will present seven performances in Naples during Season 24, our largest Naples presence ever, giving audiences more opportunities to experience our nationally recognized artists at Moorings Presbyterian Church.
If you love live classical music in Naples and have never heard Seraphic Fire, you may be missing one of the city’s best-kept cultural secrets.
Why Naples Is Discovering Seraphic Fire
Seraphic Fire has called South Florida home for 24 years, earning national recognition for performances that combine remarkable vocal artistry with the intimacy and immediacy of the human voice.
As Florida’s only GRAMMY-nominated professional choir and a 2025 Miami Herald Miami-Dade Favorites Gold Award winner, Seraphic Fire brings together some of the nation’s finest professional singers for performances throughout South Florida, including a growing presence in Naples.
These artists have careers that take them to leading ensembles, concert halls, and festivals across the country. When they come together as Seraphic Fire, audiences experience something difficult to capture on a recording: the extraordinary sound of world-class voices performing only feet away.
That experience has found a wonderful home at Moorings Presbyterian Church.
The church’s beautiful acoustics and intimate setting allow listeners to experience the detail, power, and nuance of professional choral music up close. No distant balcony seats or enormous stages separate the audience from the artists. The music fills the room.
And Naples audiences have responded.
Doubling our audience in a single season was more than a milestone. It told us that word is spreading.
Seven Performances in Naples This Season
Season 24 marks a new chapter for Seraphic Fire under GRAMMY Award-winning Artistic Director Dr. James K. Bass, and Naples audiences will have more opportunities than ever to be part of it.
The Naples season begins this fall and continues through March:
- Serenade to Music | October 15 at 7:00 PM
- Blue Notes | November 19 at 7:00 PM
- Noel: An Old-World Christmas | December 11 at 7:00 PM
- Noel: An Old-World Christmas | December 20 at 3:00 PM
- One for All | January 14, 2027 at 7:00 PM
- Northern Lights | February 18, 2027 at 7:00 PM
- American Poets | March 18, 2027 at 7:00 PM
That lineup offers remarkable range, from James’ inaugural concert as Artistic Director and the American sounds of Blue Notes to beloved Christmas music, classical masterworks, contemporary choral music, and the return of Founder and Artistic Director Laureate Patrick Dupre Quigley to the podium for One for All.
In December, Noel: An Old-World Christmas returns to Naples for two performances, bringing timeless carols, ancient chant, Renaissance polyphony, and treasured European Christmas music to Moorings Presbyterian. Christmas has become one of Seraphic Fire’s most popular traditions, and these performances frequently sell quickly.
That variety is part of what makes a Seraphic Fire season special. No two programs sound the same, yet every performance brings together the same extraordinary professional artists and commitment to musical excellence that have defined Seraphic Fire for more than two decades.
