The quartet has an extensive repertoire, ranging from classics such as Vivaldi's Four Seasons and Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, to the Romantic music of Elgar and from the rags of Scott Joplin to the jazz standards of Porter and Gershwin etc. They also have an ever-growing collection of pop arrangements from the '60s onwards including the Beatles, Elton John and Paul Simon.
