— South Florida Chamber Ensemble
Music as a Catalyst for Change
We perform in public spaces across South Florida and explain the music from the stage—so every listener walks in as themselves and walks out having heard something real.
Every note explained. Every listener included.
The South Florida Chamber Ensemble (SFCE) is a non profit organization with a vision to use music as a catalyst for change with respect to education, social justice, economic equality, and health and healing. We are dedicated to promoting lesser known composers, with a focus on American composers both living and deceased and we make sure that classical music is accessible to all by giving program notes from the stage that explain the intent behind the music, the life of the composer, and by explaining all musical terminology. We promote the idea of music without lyrics as a method of engaging each person in the audience individually as they connect in their own way to the emotion in the music that they hear
Our goal is to inspire, engage, educate, heal, and give a voice to our audience. Our musicians come from South America, Central America, the Caribbean and Asia so we feel it is important to bring classical music from all over the world to our audience. We have a roster of over 20 educational programs that pair multiple arts with multiple core subjects to help inspire youth to love learning. We have partnerships with organizations such as the Boys and Girls Clubs, YMCA, Broward and Miami-Dade Public Library Systems, historical societies , local cities and other organizations across South Florida in order to use music to solve social problems in our community.
Ways to engage
Concerts and classrooms, built for your community.
Collaborative Programs
Performances
Some of the organizations that the SFCE has worked with over the years include the Center for Hearing and Communication, the Deerfield Beach Historical Society, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Broward County, the YMCA of Broward County, The School Board of Broward County, the Broward County Library System, Etc
Each season we produce a classical concert series where each program has a theme and all the pieces on the program relate to that theme. Since 2014, we have been using an overall theme to the series where all performances relate to the theme. The SFCE creates a new educational initiative each season that pairs music with core subjects.
Music where people already gather.
We partner with the Boys and Girls Clubs, YMCA, Broward and Miami-Dade Public Library Systems, historical societies, and local cities to place music directly inside the spaces where communities already meet.
