Music, Fun, Friends, and Smiles!

Founded by esteemed Suzuki pedagogue, Edward Kreitman, in 1993, Allegro!!! is an elite string performance ensemble of the Western Springs School of Talent Education and the Naperville Suzuki School, both based in the Chicagoland area. The Allegro!!! Show was inspired by the group Barrage, and was envisioned by Mr. Kreitman to be a Broadway-style show featuring fine young violinists. It is a multimedia performance incorporating an inventive, eclectic mix of music, costumes, and dance. Allegro!!! has participated by invitation in performances for the Suzuki Association of the Americas Biennial Conference in Minneapolis, MN, and the American String Teachers Association National Conference in Atlanta, GA and Orlando, FL. In 2014 Allegro!!! was invited on a concert tour with Dean Marshall, founder of Barrage, across China, performing at the country's most prestigious venues to sold out crowds. Allegro is passionate about giving back to the community, and has empowered numerous young musicians to pursue their dreams with less financial burden, and providing scholarships and donations to support the musical community around the country. Allegro!!! is now currently directed by Emily Mather, the new Director of the Western Springs School of Talent Education.
