Orchestra-in-residence
Allegro Con Brio serves as the professional orchestra-in-residence of the camp. Allegro Con Brio will perform a special concert/demonstration for the students. In addition, the Philharmonic orchestra from the camp will perform side-by-side with the orchestra in June. In its fourth year, Allegro Con Brio is an annual innovative concert festival that brings together the Twin Cities' top orchestra musicians, soloists and artists from such prestigious organizations as the Minnesota Orchestra, Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, Minnesota Opera and VocalEssence. The only thing people can expect when they attend Allegro Con Brio is that there will be a fabulous orchestra on the stage. The annual event allows ALLEGRO to present a very unique concert approach, while maintaining extremely high artistic quality. The goal of Allegro Con Brio is to help audience members understand how music can impact their daily lives and attempts to make orchestra music more accessible to a wide array of audience members, without presenting a typical "pops" concert.
