About Us
The Allegri Singers are a small chamber choir based in the London Borough of Bromley, with all ages of singers, performing an adventurous repertoire to the highest standard. Our conductor is Stephen Anthony Brown.
We would be delighted to receive applications from experienced choral singers with good sight reading ability. More information on how to apply is available here.
The choir currently promotes four concerts each year. In addition to these, the Allegri Singers are pleased to accept a number of invitations to perform at corporate or private functions and at commemorative services in return for a contribution to choir funds. From time to time, we also sing weekend services at a British cathedral.

We thought it would be fun to share some of the marvellous tips that Stephen gives us to improve our technique, and so this series of little videos was born. We hope you enjoy them, and if you are a singer, you find them useful.
We published them on Instagram, where we are AllegriSingers. Follow us!
