It's been a while!

It seems time slipped through my fingers more quickly than I ever expected. The last update here was January of 2018, which in nonprofit years feels like several presidencies, a couple of global crises, and at least a few questionable hairstyles. Yet through it all, we remain here, still singing, still creating, still believing in the power of what Allegrezza does. Today feels like the right day to step back into this space and begin again.

​And what a moment to return.

Tonight is our dress rehearsal for the Holiday Spectacular Magnificat concert. Soon the spaces we perform will swell chatter, laughter, jitters, and that amazing sound that only Allegrezza creates. 

After months of preparation, the chorus is ready.

I wanted to pause and reflect on why we sing and who your generosity touches. Below you will find a letter I shared with donors and partners earlier this season. It speaks to our mission, the voices you help elevate, and the very real impact your support brings to life.

Thank you for reading, for believing in Allegrezza, and for standing with us through every season of growth. Stephen and I feel an enormous pride watching this chorus evolve. The talent of our singers continues to astonish us, the love from our audiences lifts us forward, and the promise of what is ahead fills us with joy more than words can hold.

We cannot wait to share this music with you.
​
With gratitude,
Jonathan

As part of our mission, we dedicate a portion of our concert proceeds to organizations in Chicago that lift and protect those most in need, across every community, culture, and background.

For this performance, we are profoundly honored to pledge our support to the National Immigrant Justice Center, whose work defends the rights and dignity of those seeking safety, belonging, and a future. Their mission reminds us that justice is not abstract; it lives in every life given a chance to begin again.

In a season meant for light, we cannot look away from the shadows. The stories unfolding in our city and across our country call us to empathy, to courage, and to action.

Everyone deserves fairness. Everyone deserves compassion. Everyone deserves dignity.
At Allegrezza, we believe music is more than performance... it is reflection and resistance, celebration and conviction, a living testament to the power of compassion over indifference.

In partnership with the National Immigrant Justice Center, we lift our voices for those still finding theirs.

We sing for hope. We sing for humanity.
