Our song list

Here’s a list of the current repertoire of the Adelaide String Duo.  We love to keep up to date with the most requested of wedding music.  From the ever-popular Pachelbel Canon in D to the new wedding classics A Thousand Years and Ed Sheeran’s Perfect.  Although our starting point was with the standard string quartet repertoire we’re always adding to our song list so please enquire if you don’t see your special piece here.  We’re happy to create a new arrangement for your special day! This blog may help you decide whether your song will work well for our combination.
