As one of the only all-female professional orchestras in the world, Allegra Chamber Orchestra maintains a mandate to empower women and their communities through music. The orchestra will champion the works of female composers alongside the mainstream classical repertoire, and feature women and those who identify as women as soloists and orchestra members.

This inaugural concert will feature Jennifer Butler's haunting work And Birds Do Sing, selected Handel arias starring Vancouver Opera soprano Melanie Krueger, and Beethoven's monumental Eroica Symphony. The afternoon concert will be hosted by CBC radio host Sheryl Mackay, and featured on her weekend morning show North by Northwest.
