BU Allegrettos

The Allegrettos are a student-run, all-gender a cappella group at Boston University. Their captivating performances feature alternative pop with an R&B influence, while drawing upon the dynamic and creative talent of each of their members to create a unique and distinct sound. Known for being collaborative souls, the ‘Grettos love making music and friendships with other a cappella groups across the country and on campus. In 1994 the Allegrettos, originally a comedy group, set aside their cheesy jokes for fiery notes... mostly. Inspired by a love of singing with friends, the Allegrettos can now be found performing at events on and off campus, competitions, and charities all year round (they even sang for President Obama at the White House in 2016!). They also recently competed in the 2019 International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella (ICCA’s). If there is one thing that the Allegrettos love more than each other, it’s recording their music. In 2017 they recorded their hit single “Ultralight Beam” and recorded their second studio album, "Wait for Me" in the spring of 2019. Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Allegrettos still managed to record and deliver stellar virtual performances. The group’s new direction includes intricate arrangements, certified bops, and a whole lot of energy!
