Our Quartets
When City of the Hills performs, two quartets enhance the program and are very popular with audiences. Each quartet is available to do performances at private parties, such as birthday or anniversary celebrations, and for business and community functions and fundraisers. To engage a quartet to sing at your special event, see the contact information below the group.
