ABOUT THE CHORUS OF THE KEYS
The Sarasota Chorus of the Keys is the oldest continuous arts group in Sarasota with a more than 60-year history and 60 members and recently won the Most Improved Chorus award in a state-wide competition. Members of the Barbershop Harmony Society, the Sarasota chapter was formed in 1949 by John Whelan, a visiting businessman with a desire to advance and preserve the truly American style of music that is the barbershop quartet. The Chorus carries out this mission today by striving for musical excellence and performing frequently for the broadest possible spectrum of Southwest Florida audiences.
After winning the Florida State Championship in 2004 and 2009, they are one of the top choruses in the state. They are also committed to contributing to the cultural development of the community through responsible public service and providing charitable support to benefit music educators and young people participating in those programs.
