OUR FOREMOST CONCERN WAS KEEPING ARTISTS AND AUDIENCES SAFE. AS WE SEE IT, THE RISKS OF GATHERING IN LARGE GROUPS, FLYING, AND AEROSOL SPREAD FROM SINGING WERE TOO GREAT FOR SERAPHIC FIRE TO PRESENT IN-PERSON CONCERTS.TO THAT END, SERAPHIC FIRE UNVEILED "SEASON S." IN SEASON S, SERAPHIC FIRE EXPLORED NEW METHODS OF PRESENTATION INCLUDING PODCASTING AND USING THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY FOR RECORDING AND PERFORMING REMOTELY. CONCERTS WERE MULTIMEDIA VIDEO PRESENTATIONS THAT FEATURED VISUAL ARTWORK, VIDEO AND AUDIO OF SINGERS PERFORMING REMOTELY, AND NEVER-BEFORE-RELEASED ARCHIVAL FOOTAGE OF THE ENSEMBLE. IN MAY 2021, SERAPHIC FIRE GATHERED A GROUP OF SINGERS IN A "QUARANTINE BUBBLE" IN MIAMI TO RECORD A FULL-LENGTH CONCERT PROGRAM. BELOW ARE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE SIX PRESENTATIONS:STILL. HERE.
