ALLIANCE STRING QUARTET CLASSICAL MUSIC REPERTOIRE Most music shown below is used for wedding ceremonies from prelude through postlude..or many of the pieces can be played for special events and parties depending on the taste of those interested in hiring us. For weddings, our suggestions for entrances of mothers, bridesmaids, bride, mid ceremony, bridal party exit. etc. are shown to the right of the piece. We will definitely assist our clients with their choices, or we can select for them if required. All can be done either through email correspondence, or a meeting with the quartet coordinator in her home.. In the case of wedding ceremonies,,,most music selections usually have to be approved by your officiant or minister of music.. We try to honor any requests our clients have which do not appear on our list, and they are welcome to contact the quartet coordinator for discussion. A professional vocalist, trumpeter, string bass player, or pianist can be added to our group for an additional fee to be negotiated, either by us or our clients..
