Coro Allegro to Perform in Miami
at Festival for GLBT Choruses

In July, Coro Allegro will perform for the fourth time at GALA, the choral festival for GLBT choruses worldwide that is held every four years. This year's festival will be held in Miami, Florida. More than 130 choruses and ensembles are scheduled to perform during the week-long festival.

The members of Coro Allegro are excited about their upcoming participation in this summer's GALA festival. Please come and celebrate the GLBT choral movement — and Coro's presence in it — at our May 18 concert.

Composer MacMillan on Cantos Sagrados

"I hope Cantos Sagrados touches a shared humanity in people regardless of political background. I think in that sense the arts transcend political and theological barriers, cultural barriers. And if something in art and music — even though it comes from a specific worldview or a specific experience of life — if it nevertheless touches someone and provokes a common shared sense of humanity and a common sense of grace, then I think an artistic success has been made as well as a spiritual and even ethical success."
