To bring the arts closer without making them smaller.
We exist to honor, center, and celebrate Black artistry as a vital force in the fine and classical performing arts.
Gather
We bring artists, creatives, and enthusiasts into rooms designed for real connection — performances, salons, and conversations that spark creative exchange.
Illuminate
We pair every gathering with the history, language, and perspective that deepen participation, opening pathways for growth, mentorship, and visibility.
Celebrate
We carry Black artistic legacy as living practice, not a footnote to the canon — ensuring its brilliance continues to shape the cultural imagination for generations.

Ebony Renée Devereaux is the founder and CEO of Soirée Social Club, a cultural strategist whose work sits at the intersection of performance, cultural programming, and audience engagement.
Her background spans both the stage and the institution, with experience connected to American Ballet Theatre, Alonzo King LINES Ballet, and San Francisco Ballet. This dual perspective shapes the way Soirée approaches the arts: with reverence for the work, respect for the artist, and a clear sense of what it takes to bring people into meaningful relationship with both.
Through Soirée, Ebony is building a platform that honors the depth of Black artistic contribution and creates more intentional ways for New Yorkers to gather, learn, and participate in the cultural life of the city.
"I have always believed that the most radical thing you can do for a community is show it its own brilliance, clearly and without apology."
