Dear Fellow Music Lovers,
Once again, we have six fabulous concerts coming your way in 2025 (our 55th Season).
The first concert is An Evening of Dixieland Jazz with The Boilermaker Jazz Band. The band has been performing swing and hot jazz worldwide for over 30 years. Their enthusiastic performances from the Great American Songbook will make you want to dance in the aisles. Check out familiar tunes performed by these superb instrumentalists and vocalists on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcDZITgd_B0
Next is our Concert of Famous Opera Highlights featuring Chelea Guo, Soprano and José Luis Maldonado, baritone with Benedicte Jourdois, pianist. Prepare yourself for an evening of spine-tingling music performed by these amazing artists. Selections will include famous arias and duets from Carmen, La Traviata, The Barber of Seville, and Rogers and Hammerstein’s Carousel.
These two concerts are followed by four more great concerts, see the complete season schedule below. Buy your ticket here or download the 2025 Season Ticket Application form and mail it with a check to PO Box 522636, Marathon, FL 33052. Single concert tickets will go on sale in November-December.
We look forward to seeing you at our concerts!
The spirit of giving and a community of generosity are what makes this organization so special. In 1969 we began with just four concerts in Marathon. Through the years, volunteers and supporters have helped us grow to twelve dazzling performances, split between two venues. Our world-class Steinway Concert Grand piano in Marathon elevated the performances to an extraordinary level! We yearn to create the same captivating concert experience for our Upper Keys patrons. Thus, we started a fundraiser to acquire another nine-foot Steinway Concert Grand Piano for the Upper Keys Venue. Please see the campaign details here.
To help this cause, the Board of Directors has decided to demonstrate for our Upper Keys Patrons the difference between our current six-foot Petrof piano and a nine-foot Steinway concert grand piano at the last two 2024 Upper Keys concerts. The Steinway company has graciously loaned us a piano. Trio Con Brio Copenhagen pianist Jens Elvekjaer and pianist Eric Lu agreed to start the performances by playing the same music pieces on both instruments. See how Jens Elvekjaer demonstrated the pianos singing tones’ and the volumes’ differences here.
If you are interested in making your business more visible to our audience, please consider placing an ad in our Program Book or sponsoring a concert. A concert sponsor’s name will be printed on the program book page for the concert. An announcement regarding the sponsorship will be made from the stage on the night of the concert. In addition, a concert sponsor receives a full-page 2025 Program ad ($500 value) and eight tickets to the sponsored concert ($240 value).

Our low ticket price means our performances are accessible to a wide audience, but unfortunately that also means our ticket sales don’t come close to covering the cost of bringing national and international artists to the Keys-even with our passionate volunteers making sure that 100 per cent of our revenues go toward that goal.
