Many of us have time-honored traditions in our families and faith communities that bring meaning and joy as we celebrate the winter holidays. We decorate our homes with treasured ornaments passed from one generation to the next. We light candles, remember loved ones, and make special plans to travel “home”. The family may gather for a favorite movie or TV show, sing carols while decorating the tree or exchange Hanukkah gifts and play games with friends and family. And certainly, there is at least one feast of holiday dishes and sweet treats made with time-honored recipes from the family cookbook. Allegro’s more than 100 voice chorus, accompanied by an ensemble of strings, flute and piano will highlight some of these traditions in story and song. You will be entertained and moved to laughter and tears as the chorus shares with you a concert of joyful and beautiful songs of the season.
Rehearsals for Allegro's holiday concert begin Tuesday, September 10th, 2024.

Our Mission
Our mission is to build a diverse group of singers, 50 years and older, regardless of race, disabilities, ethnicity, or musical background, whose singing together bears witness to the unifying, healing and joyful power of choral music. Our pledge is to highlight dynamic musical experiences with a commitment to a variety of music that can be performed with energy and excellence, growing each individual’s musical abilities as we come together in rehearsal and performance.

Singing is for Everyone!
WHO? ME?
Yes, YOU! You have the gift of a unique and special voice that is all your own, even if you have not used it to SING since grade school. You can sing at the top of your lungs in the shower, or along with your favorite songs on the radio. But MAGIC happens when many voices sing together. An uplifting energy fills the room, and all those unique voices join together to make music that is more beautiful and joyful than any one voice on its own. |
Allegro: A St. Louis Choral Community is a chorus for anyone 50 years or older who wants to sing. Our founding director, Merry Keller, loves to help people find their best singing voices, and wants you to grow in your ability to open your voice to sing with your whole body, heart and soul.
