Repertoire

We have a wide repertoire to suit any occasion, encompassing classical, light classics, jazz standards and popular arrangements

We have listed some of our current quartet pieces below. This is by no means exhaustive, but gives an impression of the type of music generally requested and which forms the core of our repertoire. New arrangements are always being introduced or rotated. In the past we have catered for evenings devoted to specific themes such as Russian music, Italian music, Christmas and other religious (or non-religious) settings. If you have a specific wish or requirement we are happy to discuss this with you.

Duos and Trios

The repertoire for our trio is essentially as for quartet. Duets are generally of a classical nature but we can arrange almost anything for two instruments and are open to requests.

Requests and arrangements

We are happy to consider requests – our extensive selection of music means that we are likely to already have it in our collection. However please give us plenty of time to track down the music if we do not have it!

If you would like us to play particular pieces that we cannot locate as ready-arranged, then we can arrange them specially for your occasion. There is a charge for each arrangement. Please also note we cannot accept all requests because of copyright issues.
