Launched in 2013 through a partnership with Sarasota Public Schools, Tomorrow’s Voices Today blossomed into an intergenerational choral experience featuring more than 200 young singers. The annual High School Choral Festival united three Sarasota County high school choirs with the full Key Chorale choir, creating a powerful showcase of community and artistry.
Then, in 2025, with the idea to involve more than just the school choirs, “Illuminate – An Electrifying Fusion of Youth Artists” was born. For one special evening each year, witness how our community’s arts & cultural organizations shape the lives of more than 300 talented young performers through a dynamic co-sponsored event between Circus Arts Conservatory and Key Chorale. Young singers and orchestra members, together with Sailor Circus students, take the CAC arena stage alongside peers from our community’s most vibrant performing arts organizations.
“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 Illuminate event, they continue to be supported by Maestro Caulkins’ visits to their classroom and, in some cases, additional performance opportunities within the community. We are so appreciative of this partnership!”
