Bacchus String Quartet Repertoire List

The Bacchus String Quartet are highly skilled in performing a whole range of material including all of the well loved and best known classical pieces. Whilst many guests may not be too familiar with the names of the classical tunes, they will of course have heard them on adverts and films. The quartet provides the perfect mood as guests arrive at the function and they perform their elegant string sound for easy listening background music. This provides the perfect start to your event. As well as performing the well loved pieces by classical composers such as Bach, Handel, Mozart and Beethoven, they also perform a selection of more modern music in a classical style, for example the music of Madness and Queen.
