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. 

Ardeton String Quartet in Bristol and Bath - Repertoire ListSelecting 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.
