The extensive repertoire of The Woodvale String Quartet spans a period of approximately 400 years, ranging from baroque to contemporary pop. We draw our selections from the classical repertoire as well as religious, opera, waltzes, show tunes, ragtime, pop, and holiday favorites.

Our music book contains over 300 pieces of music meticulously organized, allowing us to create a graceful flow from one piece to the next, creating the perfect atmosphere as the party unfolds throughout the evening.

Some of these pieces of music are religious in nature while others, marked with an asterisk (*), are non-sacred and may be used for any type of wedding cermony.
