Chorus of the Keys Offers Singing Valentines

Sarasota Chorus of the Keys will offer its annual Singing Valentines this year to sing to your significant other just about anywhere you need them to.

Hello my honey, hello my baby, hello my Valentine. And hello to Sarasota Chorus of the Keys.

The chorus will offer its annual Singing Valentines throughout the Sarasota and Bradenton area on Feb. 14 when you can send a barbershop quartet to a home or office complete with a card, a rose and two love songs.

“This is probably one of our favorite activities,” said Bob Amer, marketing director of the Chorus. ”The expressions on the faces of the singing valentine recipients are absolutely priceless. They love receiving a singing valentine far more than they do a card or a box of candy. This means a lot more to them.”
