repertoire

As a string quartet, naturally we play a lot of “classical” music – Bach, Mozart, Handel – the famous composers of the past whose music everyone has come to know and love. While the classical choice is very popular for weddings, four strings has a wide range of repertoire which encompasses music from the 1600s until the present day.
