Repertoire

We want to create the perfect atmosphere for your event.  To do this, we looked through our binders and binders of music and chose some of our most popular pieces to display below.  Take a look and see what strikes your fancy.  If you would like more options, we can discuss that over e-mail or in person if you'd like to hear us at one of our rehearsals.

Diane Shelton can also arrange (create a quartet version) of other music for a fee.  If your heart is set on one particular song, we can likely make that happen for you!

If the song has a link, click it to hear a sample of us playing that song.  These are low-tech home recordings, not studio recordings, but they can help you choose songs you enjoy.
