Coro Allegro is proud to be Boston’s award-winning LGBTQ+ and allied classical chorus.
Under the leadership of Artistic Director David Hodgkins, Coro Allegro is known for award-winning programming and critically acclaimed performances and recordings of works by diverse classical and contemporary composers. Through our performances, collaborations, and partnerships, Coro Allegro strengthens community, builds bridges, and enriches lives in the Greater Boston area and beyond.
In 2019, Coro Allegro was named a winner of the Chorus America/ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming. This prestigious award recognizes choruses that demonstrate a commitment to fostering and promoting new music. Since our founding in 1991, Coro Allegro has performed 23 world premieres, including 14 commissions, by an inclusive range of composers, and earned praise from Gramophone magazine for recordings that introduced “deeply affecting pieces and meaningful additions to the choral repertoire.”
Coro Allegro has a proud tradition of raising our voices together to benefit local, national, and international non profit and grass roots organizations that serve populations in need and advocate for principles of diversity, inclusion, and equity. Coro is committed to offering a welcoming, affirming and supportive environment for performers and audiences alike of all sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, races, religions, and ethnicities.
