Key Chorale celebrated the opening of its 31st season with its annual luncheon and fundraising auction, "Harvest of Voices." Hosted at Michael's On East, the afternoon included a performance by the Sarasota High School chamber choir with renditions of "Daniel, Daniel Servant of The Lord," "Witness" and "Stars." In addition, the afternoon was a first for the organization when they awarded its inaugural Perfect Pitch Award to aerialist and circus arts educator Dolly Jacobs. The award honors an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to Sarasota's cultural community either through education, donation or artistic achievement.
