July 14, 2026Extremely talented group created a very elevated experience
It is very rare these days for my expectations to be exceeded, and for me to feel elated about anything. The Keene Singers team achieved both and I can't thank them enough for participating in our special event. They completely nailed the tone of the event and I am so extremely pleased that we met through this service. Thanks again to the Keene team for elevating the entire memorial with their performance. They arrived early, nailed their cues, performed incredibly well, and integrated into the event flawlessly. I give them my highest recommendation.

May 19, 2026Fantastic singers and great to work with
Colleen and the choir worked with us for an event at the Beverly Hilton. The request was an unusual one, and honestly we were very last minute, but Colleen and team were a pleasure to work with, performed exactly as we had hoped, and were very flexible with the changes we needed. Looking forward to hiring them again.

May 1, 2026Gave a very specific requirement, they exceeded expectations
The experience from bid, to agreement, to planning, to our event was outstanding. Would not hesitate to partner again, they exceeded expectations for our event!
This was for a corporate event, with our executive leadership in the audience - high career stakes if you know what I mean. Not only did they deliver on what I was looking for, they elevated the energy of the event.
Colleen who was our main POC was a joy to work with, and the singers on site were just as pleasant as we were getting them set up (and of course, the nailed the singing part).

About
The Keene Singers is a name used for choirs, a cappella groups, and other vocal ensembles put together by Colleen Keene on an as-needed basis. Hello, I am Colleen! I have been in the business of ensemble vocal singing since before I got my Bachelor's degree, and I am very happy that this is my full-time job now.
In the past twenty years that I have been doing this, I have gathered a roster of about 70 professional vocalists in the Los Angeles area, with additional rosters of singers based in New York City, Denver, and the San Francisco Bay Area. What started out as mostly booking Christmas Caroling quartets has expanded into a year-round operation of me recruiting, organizing, rehearsing, and ultimately booking vocal ensembles as small as three singers to choirs as large as 40. Not only am I an accomplished musical arranger as well, but I also have many other musical arrangers available if a project needs to be completed more quickly than I will be able to.
I specialize in putting together the right group of singers for your event, singing exactly the music you want to hear, the way you want to hear it. I prioritize professionalism and vocal ability above all else in my singers, but we will do everything we can within reason to provide the look you want as well as the sound.
Vocal groups I have contracted have performed for such clients as Paramount Studios, Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Magic Castle, Soboba Casino Resort, Calico Ghost Town, Pechanga Resort, Los Angeles Airport, and many, many more. I have booked and staffed over 1000 engagements since 2009.
