Our weekly guide to the performing and visual arts in the Sarasota-Manatee area.
Key Chorale goes for Baroque
Like other organizations that have been experimenting with digital performances and testing how many artists they can safely bring together in one space, Key Chorale is expanding its group of musicians for its “Bach Together Again” concert that makes its digital debut Friday. Artistic Director Joseph Caulkins said he chose the Baroque program, which features Vivaldi’s “Gloria” and Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Magnificat,” because of the joyful and uplifting qualities in the music. It features the Key Chorale Chamber singers, orchestra musicians and soloists. It will be available on the group’s website through Feb. 21. keychorale.org

Andy’s Summer Playhouse and The Digital Renaissance Project is pleased to announce, in collaboration with Orange Grove Dance, an original online production entitled “String Theory.”
Since Zoom rehearsals began on Nov. 30, co-directors Colette Krogol and Matt Reeves have been working with an ensemble of eight young artists from New Hampshire and five adult artists from the Orange Grove Dance ensemble to bring this show to life.
Though it’s all happening on Zoom, it will be unlike anything you’ve seen on Zoom before! Krogol and Reeves were last at Andy’s in 2018, when they adapted Shaun Tan’s wordless story, “The Arrival,” into a production that spanned multiple locations on Andy’s hilltop in Wilton.
