Dear Fellow Music Lovers,
Once again, we have six fabulous concerts coming your way in 2027 (our 57th Season). The first concert is the most popular and sought after big band in the world today. Formed in 1956, the Glenn Miller Orchestra, with its unique jazz and swing sounds, has been touring worldwide ever since. With songs like “Moonlight Serenade”, “Tuxedo Junction” and “Chattanooga Choo‐Choo”, they are as American as apple pie.
See the next season concerts’ schedule below. Buy the 2027 Season ticket here or download the 2027 Season Ticket Application form and mail it with a check to PO Box 522636, Marathon, FL 33052. Single concert tickets will be available for purchase online in October – November.
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. If you’d like to learn more about how special Steinway pianos are (and why robots won’t be producing them anytime soon), check out this documentary on YouTube: https://youtu.be/6rAhps4AkT8?si=QmDhpBcJISSzt5MC
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 an Upper Keys concert. The Steinway company has graciously loaned us a piano. Trio Con Brio Copenhagen pianist Jens Elvekjaer agreed to start the trio’s performance in 2024 by playing the same music pieces on both instruments. See how Jens Elvekjaer demonstrated the pianos singing tones’ and the volumes’ differences here.

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.
