String Quartet, Trio, & Jazz Strings

This is not a complete list of our entire repertoire. We have many other pops, jazz, and classical choices as well as traditional Italian music and Latin Tangos. Please ask if you don't see what you are looking for. We are constantly adding to our music. If we don't have a selection you desire, we can usually make an arrangement. We request at least a one-month notice for anything we must arrange or we cannot guarantee its performance. Please note - all listed pieces work well for quartet. Most will work for trio, but some are simply better suited for quartet. We will let you know if this is an issue with any music you desire for trio.

I am happy to help you select music if you desire.
Just let me know.

Thank you
Lisa Kriss, Manager
