OUR HISTORY

The Allegrettos (Grettos) are a student-run, all-gender a cappella group at Boston University. In 1994, the Grettos, originally a comedy group, set aside their cheesy jokes for fiery notes… mostly. Inspired by a love of singing with friends, Grettos can now be found performing at events on-and-off-campus, competitions, and charities all year round. They even sang for President Obama at the White House in 2016! (We’re still not over it.)

OUR MUSIC

We bring a unique blend of alternative pop and R&B to our repertoire, and we love recording our music. Back in March, we released our most recent EP “Bridges” on all major streaming services…and there’s more on the way! We also enjoy competing, with our favorite competition being the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella (ICCA's). Most recently, we were semifinalists in the 2024 ICCAs after winning Outstanding Soloist and Outstanding Choreography in our quarterfinal. We plan to continue releasing music, competing, and building excellence and community in the years to come.

OUR GROUP

The Allegrettos pride themselves on being one of the most academically and culturally diverse a cappella groups on campus. From theatre to Greek life, the group members participate in a wide variety of extra-curricular activities on-and-off-campus. In addition to academic and extracurricular interests, Grettos have come from many different parts of the world, including California, Hawaii, New York, Dubai, Germany, and more. Known for being collaborative souls, the Grettos love making music and friendships with other a cappella groups across the country and on campus. Most importantly, grettos are a group of best friends who love to sing.
