The Golden Gate String Quartet has an extensive repertoire of classical selections, but what really sets the group apart from all others is its huge songlist of popular and contemporary favorites. From classic rock through R & B, funk, alternative to jazz, Latin and more, there is no quartet on the West Coast that can match its songlist. We are writing arrangements all the time to reflect the taste and style of our clients and welcome your suggestions.
Here are the current songs that the quartet perform. Check back periodically for new additions.
