KEY CHORALE, Sarasota’s only symphonic chorus, has been
performing and promoting choral music of the highest quality
since its inception in 1985. The semi-professional chorale is
comprised of 110 auditioned singers, with a professional core
of section leaders and singers, as well as a select chamber
chorus. Under the direction of Joseph Caulkins since 2006,
Key Chorale has become a producer of collaborative musical
events that embrace and support our community, engaging
in multiple outreach projects and musical partnerships, and
performing each season with a professional orchestra and
accompanist. Key Chorale is proud to unveil its new Student
area high school choir members as singers with Key Chorale
during its performance season. This experience is designed
to cultivate, coach, mentor and encourage students with
an exceptional aptitude for music, who plan to further their
musical studies after high school.
MISSION: Key Chorale is dedicated to performing and
promoting choral music of the highest quality.
