The White Raven
Coro Allegro marks 30+ years with Artistic Director David Hodgkins with a work written by Pinkham for Coro Allegro in celebration of the extraordinary, and the diversity of creation. Pinkham's setting of 18th century English neurodivergent poet Christopher Smart is paired with Hadyn’s mass for troubled times, plus a spiritual arrangement by Dr. White-Clayton, reimagined with Black lives and Covid losses in mind, which Coro Allegro was honored to premiere with the Boston Landmarks Orchestra this summer.

Letters Project
Add an open message of support for LGBTQ+ youth to this powerful letter writing campaign. At a time when rights of transgender and other LGBTQ+ youth are being eroded and LGBTQ+ topics are being silenced, Coro Allegro, the Boston Alliance of GLBTQ+ Youth (BAGLY) and other community partners are gathering and sharing letters from the LGBTQ+ community and allies to support queer youth and their families, with the power of our collective voices. Learn about the moving letters to transgender kids and survivors of conversion therapy that inspired us and add your voice!
