The Calla Quartet
Repertoire

Though we are mostly a classical quartet, we have a broad repertoire spanning many genres. From Gershwin to Mozart, waltzes to bourees, jazz to Latin, we have music that will make your next event sparkle! Feel free to browse our classical collection of music. Several pieces are linked to sound samples so you can hear excerpts. If you are planning a wedding and would like suggestions for your service, please visit our Weddings page or contact us directly. We would love to talk to you about music! We do also sometimes perform as a trio; one violin, one viola, one cello. Please follow this link to view our string trio repertoire list.
