Status Cymbal

Status Cymbal - String QuartetThe sole aim of the string quartet STATUS CYMBAL is to delight. Since inception in 1988, all kinds of audience have been beguiled by our unique blend of musical styles, from established classical works through operetta, musical comedy and jazz to witty and sparkling arrangements of the latest in popular music.

The STATUS CYMBAL approach to popular music is both refreshing and adventurous. From the beginning, works from some of Britain's finest string arrangers were commissioned, so that our unrivalled library now extends from Bach to Rock via Strauss, Gershwin, Bernstein, Duke Ellington, the Beatles, Abba, the Carpenters, Led Zeppelin and Queen, to name but a few.

In addition to concert work, STATUS CYMBAL plays regularly in hotels, Livery and Banqueting halls, stately homes and a variety of other, more unusual venues. They have also performed at a multitude of private and corporate functions, including several organised by the British Tourist Board and the English Tourist Authority. Radio and TV credits include the BBC Radio 2 Arts Programme and Central TV's prime-time network show "Pot of Gold", hosted by Des O'Connor
