St. Paul\'s Episcopal Church presents Seraphic Fire

February 29, 2012

Seraphic Fire is a remarkable vocal ensemble with several award-winning CDs, including a 2006 Brahms Requiem recording that made the top ten Billboard Classical charts. Their 2010 release of Monteverdi’s Vespers of the Blessed Virgin 1610 became
the No. 1 best-selling classical album on iTunes!

On Saturday night, March 3 at 7:30pm Seraphic Fire comes to St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Winston-Salem, and you’ll find links to more information at wfdd.org/triadarts. The twice Grammy nominated Miami-based choir is one of the four major performing arts organizations in the city, along with The Florida Grand Opera, Miami City Ballet and the New World Symphony led by San Francisco Symphony conductor Michael Tylson Thomas.

Like Tylson Thomas, Seraphic Fire founding artistic director Patrick Dupre Quigley began conducting early. At the age of 13 he led a small Presbyterian church choir in his hometown of New Orleans he’s never stopped. Patrick spoke with TAUC host David Ford by cell phone from his home is Miami, Florida.
