Welcome to the Allegro Media Group

 

Allegro is one of the premier independent distributors in North America. Founded over 25 years ago, Allegro began as a Classical music import service. Over 18 years ago, brothers Joe, Vince and Rico Micallef purchased Allegro from its original owner, implemented new systems, and quickly moved Allegro to the forefront of state-of-the-art entertainment distribution. They expanded the genre offerings to include Jazz, New Age, World, and many others. Allegro has a well-deserved reputation as one of the most efficient and effective independents in North America. Along the way, Allegro has acquired complementary companies that have grown our distribution channels. From smaller distributors and listening station companies to specialty distribution companies like NewSound (gift market distributors) and NAIL (Indie Rock distribution), these acquisitions have given Allegro an unparalleled breadth of distribution. From traditional core retail accounts to gift accounts and special market outlets, Allegro leaves no stone unturned in seeking both new markets and providing quality products for our thousands of direct and retail customers.
