A Seraphic Fire Christmas

Tickets: $27-52

Revel in the vocal splendor of Seraphic Fire this holiday season with their Christmas concert, Carols by Candlelight! Entering its second decade, Seraphic Fire is widely regarded as one of the most important vocal ensembles in the U.S. Led by Founder and Artistic Director Patrick Dupré Quigley, Seraphic Fire brings the best ensemble singers from around the country to perform repertoire ranging from Gregorian chant to newly commissioned works. The ensemble’s recordings Brahms: Ein Deutsches Requiem andA Seraphic Fire Christmas were nominated for two 2012 Grammy® Awards. 

Seraphic Fire’s artistic accomplishments have translated to chart-topping album sales. In the summer of 2010, Seraphic Fire’s recording of Monteverdi’s Vespers of the Blessed Virgin (1610) reached the number one position on the iTunes classical music charts. The ensemble’s Grammy®-nominated recording ofBrahms: Ein Deutsches Requiem debuted at #7 on Billboard Magazine’s Classical charts, and Seraphic Fire’s Christmas album, of which NPR’s Morning Edition proclaims “the singing is just fabulous; this group has a really excellent blend,” broke into the top 10 on the iTunes Classical charts on day of its release.
