• 06/25/2010 – Manuel Berberian, owner of Allegro, recently visited the Bahamas Music Conservatory. The trip's primary objective – to tend to string instruments in need of repair and maintenance – was a success. While in the Bahamas, he also trained someone based there to be able to undertake similar tasks in the future.
  
  Manuel was able to enjoy the fruits of his labor when he attended one of the rehearsals overseen by BMC's Director, JoAnne Connaughton.

• 06/05/2010 – A HUGE "Thank You!" to all our customers who brought in their old or used instruments for donations to Haiti. We are pleased to announce that three large boxes of instruments (including violins, violas, bows, guitars and flutes) are en route to Haiti. The instruments are being transported thanks to the generous efforts of Airline Ambassadors International. AAI is the only independent relief and development non-profit in the United States that works directly with commercial airlines to provide humanitarian aid to children and families in need as well as relief and development to under-privileged communities worldwide. This was truly a team effort to keep the music playing in Haiti, and as a result providing the inspiration and comfort that, unlike anything else, only music can.

Allegro Music considers itslef fortunate to have been invited by the Miami Classical Guitar Society, to be a part of this world-class event held at the Spanish Cultural Center. Classical guitar players from all over the world converged in Miami for four days of seminars, concerts and a prestigious guitar competition. Allegro was on hand to support these musicians and to display some of the finest classical guitars we have to offer to some of the finest classical guitar players internationally.

The instrument petting zoo hosted by Allegro Music has become a popular attraction at the Sunday Afternoons of Music children's series concerts. It provides children of all ages the opportunity to see fine instruments up close, as well as the chance to handle and play them. Hopefully, this is the first step in inspiring a future generation of musicians.
