Conductor, Composer

Founder & Director of Allegro

Allegro's mission is to enrich the lives of Kansas City students through outstanding choral education and

numerous performance opportunities.

"Our singers come from a variety of backgrounds, but they share the common value that every individual voice matters as the singers work together to achieve one sound."

With a contagious laughter that resonates through her teaching, Christy Elsner is known for her adventurous and unconventional teaching methods. Her unwavering belief in raising the bar of excellence extends beyond music, urging Allegro singers to pursue greatness in all aspects of their lives. Christy's active role as a clinician for children's, youth, and treble choirs involves workshops on innovative rehearsing, and she is honored to conduct state, regional, and national honor choirs.

Dr. Andrea Ramsey enjoys an international presence as a composer, conductor, scholar and music educator. Before leaping into full time composing and guest conducting, Andrea held positions at The Ohio State University and the University of Colorado Boulder, respectively. An award-winning composer with over 150 works to date, she believes strongly in the creation of new music. A native of Arkansas, Andrea has experienced in her own life the power of music to provide a sense of community, better understanding of our humanity and rich opportunities for self-discovery.
