2014 - 15
Dear Friends,
What a remarkable year Seraphic Fire has had. From Mozart to Mahler,
Bach to Barber, we traversed centuries and continents together. In the
end, however, none of this would be possible without you. We, the artists
of Seraphic Fire, thank you for your incredible support, your amazing
kindness, and your love of music.
My very best,
Patrick Dupré Quigley
Founder & Artistic Director
Dear Friends,
I fell in love with Seraphic Fire after attending my first concert several
years ago. Now, it is my great privilege to work with Patrick, and the
entire Board, to guide us forward as we grow responsibly and with
purpose. There are exciting new ideas and projects on the horizon and we
can’t wait to take the next important steps along with you. Thank you for
your loyalty and support, and for being a part of this great organization.
Sincerely,
Alaina Fotiu-Wojtowicz
Chair, Board of Directors
Dear Friends,
I take tremendous pride in this organization. As a supporter and partner,
I know you do as well. Our commitment to you is to continue our
excellence, innovation, community leadership, and to be something
South Florida can be proud of on an international level. Thank you for
what you made possible this past season, and for what you will help us to
achieve in the coming years.
With appreciation,
Rhett Del Campo
Executive Director

Escuchar este grupo en

pretextos para vivir en Miami.

“
The audience... was fervently
enthusiastic, standing several
times during the concert to
applaud this remarkable
performing group that has
added so much to South
Florida’s cultural scene.
“
“
“
... astutely chosen repertoire,
superb performances and a
warm and friendly ambiance—
the model of what makes a great
... concert.
“
“
The singing is excellent, the
readings uniformly good, and
it is, as always with this group,
a project carried out with the
utmost seriousness and integrity.
