Key Chorale’s Tomorrow’s Voices Today High School Choral Festival Next Tuesday, April 25

April 19, 2023 – Sarasota

Key Chorale’s 38^th main season closes with the 8^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 Booker High School, Pine View School, and Venice High School will join the voices of Key Chorale to create a festival chorus of over 200 voices of all ages.   

Led by directors Alexander Zickafoose, Seth Gardner, Brittany Smith and the choirs of Booker, Pine View, and Venice 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.”    

Each high school choir will perform on their own and then join with Key Chorale to perform Jubilate Deo by Peter Anglea, Lux Beata Trinitas – Ola Gjeilo, Vum Vive Vum by Kevin Siegfried, and  Selma 1965: Let My People Go by Arr. Rollo Dilworth. Alexander Zickafoose will also direct The Key Chorale Student Scholar Ensemble for Tuba by Arr. Michael Barrett and Somewhere by Leonard Bernstein.  

“Every year Joseph works with my students in preparation for MPA or Tomorrow’s Voices Today, bringing a sensitivity to the music that is truly inspiring. He bridges the gap between the technical aspects of music and the heart of each piece. My students and I appreciate him giving freely of his time and always learn so much,” says Seth Gardner, Director of Choral Activities at Pine View School.  

In order to make the “Tomorrow’s Voices Today” concert collaboration accessible to all, Key Chorale has a ticket price of just $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: 
Tuesday, April 25^th at 7:30 PM Venice Performing Arts Center Tickets $10
