Thank you for such wonderful words of praise. I am very fortunate to live and work in a community where such efforts are valued. The Allegro Orchestra has grown steadily through the years, not only in size, but also in the way it approaches so many diverse styles of music. We certainly defy any traditional definitions -- as we all should. Thanks again!

The parts are scored low. The arrangement is by Dr. Sandra Dackow who is quite gifted in her work with young string players. I hope you also take a few moments to view other Allegro Orchestra performances on YouTube. Simply type "Allegro Orchestra" in YouTube's search field. My name is Viktoras Prizgintas and I have the honor of working with and conducting these wonderful students. I hope to hear from you again.

he is a GREAT instructor who cares so much about what he is doing. I remember this from the few times that Iwas able to make it to the rehearsals. He has taken these students to many different parts of the world to perform.

Great! You must be a wonderful conductor since this is a beautiful piece!!

[saltlakecity2002]

Oh! The sound sounded kind of low. Sorry. I'm actually in my school orchestra and play the viola, so I guess that's why I thought that.

[allegroorch]

No. This is a string orchestra with Violin I, Violin II, Viola, Cello and Bass sections.

[saltlakecity2002]

Is this an Orchestra of only violas and cellos??

[pinkeyscareymya]

wow. tried out for this orchestra twice and was accepted both times but b/c of distance and scheduling was unable to make it to the rehearsals. i give you guys props. you're awesome. i wish you the best.

Beautifully done, bravo. We should be proud of those young musicians, proud of our troops, and proud to be from the greatest country in the world. Well done all.
