What is Allegro?

Allegro is an umbrella Registered Student Organization that

represents all music student organizations at Washington State University. We aim to excite and inspire all students on the WSU

campus with and through music. By partnering with student organizations, we provide funding to bring world-renowned guest

artists to perform and work one-on-one with WSU students. In addition, Allegro offers travel scholarships to exceptional students and organizations traveling to competitions, festivals, conferences,

and other music-related activities. Allegro receives generous funding from the Associated Students of Washington State University.

All RSOs are welcome to apply for Allegro funding. Applications are available in the Kimbrough Music Building office.
