"Today, just because it's St. Patrick's Day, I can write about anything I like. So I'm going to write about Allegra. I like Allegra . . . a fine foursome of female fiddlers . . . does an excellent job of the [Pachelbel] Canon."
--Patrick Tivy, Calgary Herald"One of the busiest chamber ensembles in Calgary . . . To date, Allegra's performances in local restaurants have been the only places where one enjoys Mozart and Schubert in a civilized manner over coffee and cakes."
--Erik Dawson, Calgary Herald
"As you may have noted, our entire table at dinner was most impressed with both the quality of your playing and the appropriateness of your repertoire."
--Dennis Anderson, Alberta Minister of Culture
"In an otherwise hectic Stampede week, you provided a relaxing background for a very elegant luncheon."
--A. McManus (sponsor liason, Olympic Winter Games Organizing Committee)
"Calgary's celebrated string quartet . . . a delightful CD"
--Ken McGoogan, Calgary Herald
"a flawless classical set . . . left the audience breathless and clamoring for more . . . deep, dark Ceylon Tango . . . rousing Hungarian Czardas . . . maybe [Allegra] has a few lessons to teach musicians who feel they are playing at their audience rather than to it . . . I think I even heard singing from the balcony . . ."
--Tim Shoults, Jasper Booster
