ALLIANCE STRING QUARTET CLASSICAL MUSIC REPERTOIRE

Most music shown below is used for wedding ceremonies from prelude through

postlude..or many of the pieces can be played for special events and parties depending on

the taste of those interested in hiring us. For weddings, our suggestions for entrances of

mothers, bridesmaids, bride, mid ceremony, bridal party exit. etc. are shown to the right

of the piece. We will definitely assist our clients with their choices, or we can select for

them if required. All can be done either through email correspondence, or a meeting with

the quartet coordinator in her home.

.

In the case of wedding ceremonies,,,most music selections usually have to be approved by

your officiant or minister of music. .

We try to honor any requests our clients have which do not appear on our list, and they are

welcome to contact the quartet coordinator for discussion.

A professional vocalist , trumpeter, string bass player, or pianist can be added to our

group for an additional fee to be negotiated, either by us or our clients. . Please contact the

quartet coordinator for discussion of additional musicians.
