Allegrezza

Allegrezza is a Chicago chorus that aligns its music with local charities that change the world. Stephen C Edwards / Artistic Director
Our mission — one we take to heart — is share joy and give back to the Chicago community. “Allegrezza is an SATB chorus comprised of auditioned singers based in the beautiful neighborhood of Lincoln Park just north of downtown Chicago. We believe that all people should not only be embraced but celebrated for who they are. Allegrezza means joyfulness in Italian, and through our song, we will show acceptance and joy for all people."

Tickets for A HOLIDAY SPECTACULAR - MAGNIFICAT are now online! We are so excited for these performances and hope you will join us!
Months ago, Magnificat was chosen for its beauty and spirit. Today, it carries new meaning, becoming a reflection of justice, courage, and grace.
The concert imagery, created by Jonathan Pugh, captures the essence of Mary’s song: fierce yet tender, a mother’s cry for justice. It honors the strength of immigrant mothers who protect their families with unyielding love, even in the face of hardship.
At its heart is the verse:
“Deposuit potentes de sede et exaltavit humiles.”
He has put down the mighty from their seats and has exalted the humble.
Magnificat Luke 1:52
This ancient text reminds us that power can yield to compassion, and that dignity belongs to all.
This concert is more than a performance; it is art in action, a call to empathy and solidarity.
A portion of proceeds will support the National Immigrant Justice Center, advancing dignity, representation, and hope for those seeking safety and belonging.
