Anyone interested in surprising loved ones, coworkers or friends with some holiday cheer, or adding some festive flair to their event, can hire a quartet to perform traditional religious or secular holiday music selections.

Barton vocal music students have formed a handful of quartets for hire to offer caroling services any time between December 2-21. Performances will be 15 minutes long and can be purchased for a  donation of $100 or more. The music can be as background or foreground.
