The near future will bring a new recording featuring works by Mozart and Hindemith as well as most notable performances i. e. Zurich Tonhalle and continued work on expanding the woodwind genre.

Carion presents a varied and interesting repertoire. The ensemble is well founded in the established wind quintet works, and has received most favourable critique for their interpretation of Carl Nielsen, French composers like Jean Françaix and especially the Six bagatelles by György Ligeti. Carion has worked with several composers, most notably with Morten Skovgård Danielsen, and can also present a unique range of arrangements by their own horn player, David M.A.P. Palmquist.
