Coro Allegro is a classical music choral group based in Boston, Massachusetts, drawing its members from the LGBT community. It was founded in 1990. ==Profile and performances== Coro Allegro was founded specifically to be a chorus of both gay men and lesbians who share a passion for music, and it remains the only organization in Boston committed to bringing exciting classical repertoire to the GLBT community. The chorus also succeeds in bringing classical music to a wider audience. In its first twenty years, its numbers grew from just twenty singers to more than sixty.〔Arts Boston: (Coro Allegro ), accessed Dec. 1, 2009〕 The chorus regularly collaborates with other musical ensembles.〔''Boston Globe'', "Cecilia, Coro Allegro Find Balance With Brahms ," Mar. 19, 2003〕 Among its most notable collaborations have been performances of Mendelssohn’s ''Elijah'' in 1999 with the Boston Cecilia and the Handel and Haydn Society under the direction of Christopher Hogwood;〔Boston Globe, "''Elijah'' Affirms One's Faith in H & H," Oct. 21, 2000〕 of Robert Kapilow’s baseball cantata, a setting of ''Casey at the Bat'' for chorus, in 2001 with Musica Viva in collaboration choreographer Daniel Pelzig;〔Boson Globe, "This ''Casey'' Doesn't Strike Out", May 14, 2001〕 of Brahms’ ''German Requiem'' in 2003 with Boston Cecilia under the baton of Donald Teeters; and of both Poulenc's ''Gloria'' and Bernstein's ''Chichester Psalms'' in 2004 with Boston Cecilia.
