Key of Q: It’s About Time!
Friday, January 16 - 7 PM
Please join us as we celebrate a decade of harmony, pride, and community. Through inventive vocal arrangements and storytelling, we explore the many ways we experience the elasticity of time – how we spend it, save it, waste it, and watch it fly.
This year marks our 10th anniversary as a chorus, and our time together has been time very well spent. Key of Q has built a family where every voice matters and every unique identity is celebrated. We honor the past that has shaped us, stand together in the present against the forces that would divide us, and move forward into a future strengthened by community, courage, and connection. It’s about harmony. It’s about belonging. It’s About Time.
