Hello and welcome to the Student Organization Portal (SOP) website of the University of Toronto Allegro Choir! We are a student-led choir that specializes in singing Mandarin and English songs, bringing together different cultures through the universal language of music.
Music is an essential part of any culture, reflecting and shaping societal values and emotions. From the enchanting melodies of traditional Beijing operas to the heartwarming strains of native Taiwanese folk songs, and from the passionate expressions of English Romanticism to the soulful tunes of American country rock, music has the power to connect us all.
In today’s rapidly evolving world, where technology often reduces face-to-face interaction, Allegro Choir strives to revive this crucial form of communication. By performing songs that represent Chinese and other cultures, we hope to engage with and celebrate the diverse communities that make up our global society.
Since our humble beginnings as a student-led club in 2007, Allegro Choir has grown into a semi-professional ensemble, delighting audiences with our captivating performances. This school year, we will continue our weekly rehearsals and plan to perform at numerous events, culminating in our highly anticipated annual year-end concert.
The Allegro Choir is not only about making music; it’s also a supportive and inclusive environment where music enthusiasts can learn new skills, forge life-long friendships, and create cherished memories.
We invite all U of T students with a passion for singing and an interest in learning Chinese to join our musical family. Stay tuned to this website and our social media platforms for updates on our performances, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and more exciting news about the University of Toronto Allegro Choir!
Happy singing!
