Among the group's twenty-four members are piano and voice teachers, soloists, choir directors, organists and others with musical training. the ensemble has previously reached the quarter- and semi-finals of the CBC Radio Competition for Amateur Choirs. in May 2010, they were awarded second place in the chamber choir category of the National Competition for Canadian Amateur Choirs. they have performed twice at Podium, Canada's national choral conference, most recently in May 2014 in Halifax.  ink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less

On August 7, 2009, five of the future members of KeyStone performed this arrangement at the summer cOncert of the A Cappella Project - Philadelphia. When KeyStone formed nearly two years later, "I'll Be there" became one of their first songs. We recorded this video in memory of Michael, with gratitude and love. Music by Berry Gordy, Bob West, Willie Hutch, Hal Davis Arrangement by Amy Howe Lead vocals: Amy Howe, Josh Schrager This video was recorded live using a smart phone from the interior of an SUV. It is unedited, unmastered, and has minimal mixing.
