Repertoire - For wedding and corporate events

A group is only as good as its repertoire, and we believe that the Ardeton String Quartet has one of the largest and most eclectic repertoires available - many other groups come to us asking to borrow something they can't find! We pride ourselves in being versatile musicians, able to change from Abba to Bach in seconds.

Selecting a programme of music for your wedding or event can be difficult. We are always happy to help in the selecting the perfect music to accompany your day. We can also arrange for any 'special requests' to be found, arranged by our composer and cellist Dury, for which we make a small charge. 

Please feel free to use this page to make any selections, or alternatively you can use the link on the right to download our current repertoire list in adobe acrobat (.pdf) format, which you can then print and view offline.
