The Allegro Orchestra continues to stretch the boundaries of how
classically trained young musicians can network with new and
innovative venues. They certainly look like a classical orchestra,
but the sound they generate seems younger and more like what you
might expect at a rock concert. While not classical, the use of the
classical language and technique to generate contemporary syntax of
rhythm and chords executed in rapid staccato and syncopated beats is
very unique with this energetic group. The tempo was sometimes fierce
and even bluesy but never complacent. The results undoubtedly
challenge the conventional definition of what strings are expected to
sound like. Complacency is not to be either seen nor heard. Refreshing, really.

The Allegro Youth Orchestra invites you to be part of this
revolution! Share this clip with friends, family, educators and other
YouTubers. If it is only different for the sake of difference, then
too bad. But if this difference challenges how one thinks and reaches
new ideas, well, then Bravo!

For those of us there that evening, it was certainly something unique
and very memorable.
