Seraphic Fire is fortunate to add someone with a proven track record of leadership, vision, and dedication to the team.”

“I’m excited to begin working with Danny as Seraphic Fire continues its important work in the South Florida community bringing to light underperformed music and impacting students of all ages through our music education programs,” said Patrick Dupre Quigley, Seraphic Fire founder and artistic director. “Danny has the experience both in fundraising and operations to keep Seraphic Fire on a path of long-term growth, where we are contributing to the cultural and choral community locally and nationally.”
“I’m honored and excited to lead Seraphic Fire through this next chapter,” Dr. Yanez said.
“With my background in fundraising, operations, strategic partnerships, and marketing, I’m eager to channel my experience into strengthening South Florida’s arts and culture.
Seraphic Fire’s mission, the dedication of our team, and the remarkable talent of our world-class artists present an extraordinary opportunity for growth, and I look forward to leading Seraphic Fire to new heights.”
Dr. Yanez not only is focused on driving success at Seraphic Fire but also committed to collaborating closely with the Board of Directors and the community to inspire even greater investment in the arts.
“Seraphic Fire has untapped potential, and I look forward to working with our talented team, dedicated board, and passionate supporters to bring that vision to life,” Dr. Yanez added.
