Seraphic Fire celebrates its 20th anniversary with a season of extraordinary artistry. There is something for everyone included in our concert programs in South Florida and beyond.
Jason Max Ferdinand, guest conductor
Two first-time guest conductors will join the ensemble in January and March. Jason Max Ferdinand, of the Jason Max Ferdinand Singers, will lead a concert of American folk songs and spirituals.
In March, internationally-renowned Venezuelan conductor Maria Guinand joins Seraphic Fire for a program that contrasts Bach’s Jesu, meine Freude with sacred and secular Spanish-language music. This season will also see Seraphic Fire collaborating with other world-class ensembles through partnerships with Miami’s New World Symphony and Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra.
María Guinand, guest conductor
February will feature the third annual Enlightenment Festival, bringing to you what Seraphic Fire does best: Bach, featuring two of the composer’s greatest oratorios. We will end the anniversary season with Artistic Director Patrick Dupre Quigley leading a 40-voice ensemble in several new commissions as well as Thomas Tallis’ Spem in alium.
