Key Chorale Tomorrow’s Voices Today

April 29, 2022 – Sarasota

Key Chorale’s 37^th season closes with the 7^th annual presentation of “Tomorrow’s Voices Today,” a unique collaborative choral festival featuring Key Chorale and Sarasota County high school choir students. Each year, Maestro Caulkins inspires music making at the highest levels, planting seeds that will ripen throughout these students’ lives with an eclectic program from classics to contemporary. This year, the choirs from Riverview High School, Sarasota High School, and Booker High School will join the voices of Key Chorale to create a festival chorus of over 200 voices of all ages.  

Each high school choir will perform on their own and then join with Key Chorale to perform Soon We Will Be Done by Kyle Pederson, In Remembrance by Jeffery L. Ames, and O! What a Beautiful City by Shawn Kirchner.  

Led by directors David and Whitney Verdoni, Kirby Sanders and Alexander Zickafoose, the choirs of Riverview, Sarasota and Booker High Schools, respectively, will perform some of their favorites from this season as well as performing with Key Chorale. As Artistic Director Joseph Caulkins states, “When I visit these schools I am consistently inspired by the quality of instructions and music-making in our schools. What I hope to impart is the great joy and reward that comes when we strive for great artistry.”   

 “Key Chorale’s support of our high schools’ choral programs and their students and teachers is wonderful and goes far beyond this one event. Once a school’s chorus has made a connection to Key Chorale through the Tomorrow’s Voices Today concert, they continue to be supported by Maestro Caulkins’ visits to their classroom, (except during COVID-19) and, in some cases, additional performance opportunities within the community. We are so appreciative of this partnership!”

In order to make the “Tomorrow’s Voices Today” concert collaboration accessible to all, Key Chorale has reduced the ticket price to $10 to allow the entire community to celebrate choral music together. “We want our community to be able to have a front row seat to experience first-hand why we think this outreach is so important to Key Chorale’s mission,” said Caulkins. 

The performance takes place: 
Monday, May 9^th at 7:30 PM 

Riverview Performing Arts Center 

Tickets $10
