The sole aim of the string quartet STATUS CYMBAL is to delight. Since our formation 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. Mastery of this wide repertoire stems from formative days when the members were all principal players in the New Scarborough Spa Orchestra, which followed in the footsteps of the famous Max Jaffa Orchestra, giving a summer season of regular concerts in the celebrated Yorkshire resort. Playing as the Scarborough Spa Quartet, the ensemble soon gained prestige engagements throughout Britain and abroad. In 1992, in response to this ever-widening demand, the members left the orchestra to concentrate on developing their careers as a quartet. The current name was adopted at that time. 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. The haunting and the beautiful, the lively, the tearful, the passionate and the humorous, all can be heard in a STATUS CYMBAL recital. Variety, originality and entertainment are our watchwords. 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. We 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.
