Key of She performs at Liberty Station’s White Box Theater 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 9. The concert will feature jazzy versions of old holiday favorites, traditional holiday tunes, and a bit of miscellany. There will be a reception following the concert.
Key of She was formed in February 2016 by Patricia Cox, Pamila Whitney and Kerri De Rosier. The three of them had a dream of a high-quality, all-women ensemble consisting of experienced and committed singers who could perform a variety of music – from Classical to Big Band Standards – with close harmonies.
The group currently has 14 members. The group is the newest Artist-in-Residence at Recreational Music Center – also the site of their rehearsals. White Box Theater is located at 2590 Truxtun Road, Studio 205, at the corner of Truxtun and Roosevelt Road. The group is holding auditions at Recreational Music Center on Jan. 9, 2017.
