Like all the senior professional String Quartets, the members of the Allegri teach and give masterclasses as well as performing and recording. The Quartet celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2004 and held a reunion at the Llanfyllin Festival at which many of the past members also performed.
Daniel Rowland joined the Quartet following Peter Carter's retirement at the beginning of 2005.
