Centered on Black artistry.
Soirée Social Club invites audiences into a deeper relationship with the fine and classical performing arts, one rooted in history, beauty, and a genuine sense of belonging.
To bring the arts closer without making them smaller.
We exist to place Black artistry at the center of the canon. Not as a footnote, but as a founding force.
Gather
We bring artists, creatives, and enthusiasts into rooms designed for real connection — performances, salons, and conversations that leave people changed.
Illuminate
We pair every gathering with the history, language, and perspective that sharpen how people see — creating space for discovery, dialogue, and visibility.
Celebrate
We carry Black artistic legacy as living practice, not a footnote to the canon — so its brilliance is passed forward, not simply preserved.
New York City
Soirée is shaped by the city’s stages, museums, galleries, classrooms, archives, neighborhoods, and cultural audiences.
Black artists
Our work places Black artists within the central story of the fine and performing arts, where their influence has always belonged.
Access + study
Each experience is designed to make the art more legible, more resonant, and more alive.

Ebony Renée Devereaux is the Founder, CEO and Artistic Director 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, accountability to the artist, and a clear sense of what it takes to bring people into genuine relationship with both.
Through Soirée, Ebony is building an institution that honors the depth of Black artistic contribution and creates more intentional ways for New Yorkers to gather, learn, and belong to 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."
