Seraphic Fire bids farewell to its executive director of over eight years, Rhett M. Del Campo, and wishes him great success as he begins his next role as executive director of iSing in Silicon Valley, CA.
The DeVos Institute of Arts Management at the University of Maryland has been engaged to provide interim leadership and manage the search process for a successor.
Michael M. Kaiser, the chair of the DeVos Institute and president emeritus of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Arts, will serve as interim executive director. Prior to his tenure at the Kennedy Center, Kaiser led Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre, Royal Opera House in London, American Ballet Theatre, and others. Matthew Kacergis, associate consultant, serves as interim managing director.
“We are honored to collaborate with Patrick Quigley and Seraphic Fire at this pivotal point in its history,” Kaiser said. “For two decades, the ensemble has brought astonishing art to audiences throughout Florida and around the country. Its next leader has a tremendous opportunity to build upon Rhett Del Campo’s great work and help the choir further grow its profile.”
Artistic director Patrick Dupre Quigley said, “We are incredibly excited about Michael Kaiser and his team at the Devos Institute joining us in writing Seraphic Fire’s next chapter.
“Michael and the DeVos Institute represent the standard for best practices in our industry, and we look forward to a happy and fruitful collaboration in the coming months,” Quigley added.
“As a board, we are all very excited and honored to be working in partnership with the Devos Institute,” said board secretary Diane Ashley. “After 20 years of incredible music, we are all united in our commitment to seeing Seraphic Fire flourish for another 20 and beyond.”
Guided by the DeVos Institute, a national search will be conducted for the next executive director. The job profile will be listed on the Seraphic Fire website and industry postings in the coming weeks.
