Allegro celebrates its 10th birthday in 2011!
Chamber music… a conversation between friends.
Allegretto Youth Chamber Orchestra
Music has a power of forming the character, and should therefore be introduced into the education of the young.
We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams.
Music isn't just learning notes and playing them. You learn notes to play to the music of your soul.

Make a joyful noise.
I believe music must, first and foremost, stir the heart.
