Repertoire
An extensive collection of music for all occasions
The Allestri Ensemble have an extensive and varied repertoire which can easily be tailored to suit your event (eg either 'just classical' or alternatively 'no classical' are both fine with us). There are two catalogues below - string / flute quartet and string / flute trio. The vast majority of pieces in both catalogues can be played very successfully with either flute or violin as the leading instrument, though there are a handful of pieces suitable for string quartet / trio only marked (s), and a few suitable only for flute quartet / trio marked (f). If we are appearing as a flute / string quartet we can of course also play any piece in our string / flute trio catalogue - there are a number of pieces for which we only have a trio arrangement, and these are included in our quartet catalogue marked (t).
If there is a particular song or piece of music which you can't find in the lists below that you would like to hear, then for a reasonable additional fee we can usually create an arrangement (either for quartet or trio) for your special occasion. Please note that given the amount of music which we now have in our repertoire, we cannot guarantee to have pieces with us unless you request them in advance.
