EQ allows the performers and the faculty to explore the entire canon of string quartet music. because of this the concerts repertoire isn't decided until very close to the concert. The performers can explore contemporary works from Ligeti to di Castir to Ferneyhough or traditional works from Mozart, Haydn or Bartok. Each of the concerts will have a wide range of repertoire and will take the audience on a journey through the history of string quartet music.
