The quartet sang on various occasions over the next few years and despite finishing their studies they continued their collaboration and rehearsed a program that they performed mainly in the capital area but they also went on singing tours abroad, they were all then moved to Reykjavík. Regular rehearsals and concerts did not really begin until 1935.

They received good reviews everywhere for their singing and in 1937 they hired a pianist for the first time but until then they had sung without an accompanist, this was Bjarni Þórðarson pianist (a wholesaler) but on the same occasion Carl Billich was hired to conduct the group and arrange.

This collaboration did the quartet good and the media reviews of the singing became even more positive, and so the collaboration continued until 1940 when the British army had Carl Billich arrested and deported, although he was an Austrian citizen. As a result, the MA Quartet's activities were suspended for about a year, but then Árni Björnsson and Emil Thoroddsen, composers, came to their aid, and they worked with the quartet until 1942 when it retired, on its tenth anniversary, at which time Jón frá Ljárskógar died.

During these ten years, the MA Quartet will have held over a hundred concerts in eighteen locations, in addition to singing thirteen times on the radio.
