Welcome to the website of the Allegri Ensemble, a chamber choir based in Hobart, Tasmania.
Allegri Ensemble comprises a tightly-knit group of Hobart's finest choral singers drawn from many local choirs, some of whom are soloists in their own right.
The choir was established by Andrew Bainbridge, beginning with sell-out performances of Messiah in 2010 and 2011. Currently under the direction of Jonathan Wallis, the Allegri Ensemble continues to go from strength to strength, performing numerous concerts each year with repertoire spanning from the Medieval period to the modern.
From the Chapel - Palestrina 'Missa Papae Marcelli'
It has been said that the “godfather” of renaissance polyphony, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, wrote a mass setting so beautiful that it changed the Pope’s mind on “complicated music”. Meet the man, the myth and the legend that surrounds 'Missa Papae Marcelli'. This concert also includes sublime music by Josquin & Taverner.
