Space to breathe
Music to recharge your inner world; inspiration to repair your outer world.
Are you ready for a galactic experience? Music will take you on a glorious journey through the heavens at STARS AND PLANETS, our final concert of the season on APRIL 26TH.
These days, we all need a little space to breathe.
Life is often overwhelming these days. It’s hard to know how to stay grounded—let alone how to help and where to start.
But one thing is certain: you can’t pour from an empty cup.
At Seraphim we join our voices in music that quiets the noise, speaks to the challenges we all face, and sows seeds for change in our world.

Seraphim at Home
When the noise of daily life makes you long for more stillness or a new perspective, Seraphim can help. Explore our assortment of audio recordings and videos accessible from anywhere online.
Leave transformed.
The Seraphim experience isn’t about intellectually understanding choral repertoire or classical music.
It’s about letting the music still your mind and body. Opening your heart to new perspectives. And being motivated to join in the struggle for a better world.
You’ll walk away breathing more deeply and with a renewed sense of urgency to engage with your world.
A group that “rivals Boston’s best vocal ensembles” — Boston Classical Review
Seraphim concerts explore diverse composers and varied repertoire, with newly commissioned pieces performed alongside timeless gems. The north star that guides our programming is the exploration of deeply human themes: longing, protest, suffering, and transcendence. We use choral music to illuminate and challenge us to act on pressing issues in our world, including homelessness, climate change, and racial justice.
“A stunning performance, exquisitely directed. Deeply soulful. Thank you, Jen and Seraphim.”
—Rev. Kate Layzer, First Church in Cambridge, Congregational, UCC
“A world striving for fairness and equality will not be silent. Seraphim…emphasizing music by and about women, will make certain of that.”
—Keith Powers, Musical America Worldwide
“Seraphim created sonic chords which enveloped us like an atmosphere of emotions.”
—Anne Davenport, The Boston Musical Intelligencer
