ALLEGRO SOCIETY

The Allegro Society brings the “next generation” of La Jolla Music Society patrons together at performances. Because there is such a diverse group of professionals represented, it’s really a great way to network and connect with a range of people who share a common interest (music and the arts) while also having fun.
