Repertoire

Josef J. Haydn

Our repertoire spans the music one plays with gut strings. As this covers three centuries, depending on the repertoire we play on differing set-ups: either classical, baroque, or renaissance.

The core quartet repertoire starts at the first Viennese School: composers such as J. Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. Unlike most quartets we add the works of their contemporaries to put the them in their context: Dittersdorf, Wranitsky, Onslow, to name a few. When you surround Haydn, Mozart or Beethoven by their greatly admired colleagues you can really see why they were then and continue to be held up as geniuses today.

The emergence of the violin as the king of instruments began in the Renaissance, with the emergence of the violin band. Moving forwards we play works of the Baroque written for or arranged for quartet. We are fortunate as a string quartet that we have all worked extensively in all these different centuries of music.

As we are a new quartet, our repertoire list is in its youth and constantly growing.
We are very happy to learn new quartets, and open to requests. We can tailor our programmes to fit with themes or ideas you may have for your concert series or festival.
