STATUS CYMBAL is the String Quartet with a difference. Its unrivalled classical to contemporary repertoire, equally at home playing Bach, Mozart, Gershwin, Oasis and Blur, makes them the ideal complement to any occasion.

As one of the UK’s busiest and most sought-after professional quartets, and with more than eighteen years of experience, STATUS CYMBAL has the ability and panache to enhance the ambience of every kind of event, however formal or informal the occasion. A keen sense of the requisite style, achieved by close liaison with the client, ensures that Status Cymbal will be playing the right music in the right place and at the right time. The quartet has provided music for functions in venues including Althorp, Claridges, the London Ritz, Highclere Castle and Pinewood Studios where guest lists have included the Princess Royal, Cleo Laine, Lord Sainsbury, Pavarotti, Bob Geldof, Keith Richards, Steve Redgrave, David Gower and Boy George. The UK premiere of the Hollywood movie The Royal Tenenbaums, the re-launches of O2 and Audos, the corporate event organisers, as well as the magazine Men’s Health’s search for a new cover model all saw STATUS CYMBAL providing the music. Always, special care is taken to match the music to the wishes of the engager, thus creating the appropriate mood and atmosphere however extrovert or intimate the occasion might be.
