About Sarasota Chorus of the Keys

The Sarasota Chorus of the Keys has been entertaining Suncoast audiences for 75 years, having been organized in 1949. The Chorus, consisting of men who are seasonal and permanent Florida residents, is a chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society (BHS), a not-for-profit organization with headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee. The BHS has chapters in the USA and Canada and is affiliated with barbershop groups in several foreign countries.

As a lifelong hobby, Chorus members love "a cappella" four-part harmony singing and sharing their uniquely American barbershop style with others. Each year, the Chorus and its quartets perform at public and private events, present an Annual Show in February, and compete with other choruses/quartets at Florida State District conventions.

The members of the Chorus are Trustees of the Sheridan E. Brown Scholarship Fund which raises funds to provide scholarships to male High School seniors in public and private schools in Sarasota and Manatee Counties. The students selected have earned outstanding musical achievement and plan to attend college and include a course of vocal music as part of their curriculum.
