Status Cymbal's approach to popular music is both refreshing and adventurous. From the beginning, works from some of Britain's finest string arrangers were commissioned, and their library extends from Bach to Rock via Strauss, Gershwin, Bernstein, Duke Ellington, the Beatles, Abba, the Carpenters, Led Zeppelin and Queen.
In addition to concert work, Status Cymbal plays regularly at venues from hotels to stately homes. They have also performed at many 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
"Status Cymbal effortlessly brought class and elegance to the evening through their demeanour and talent. Their classical music during the drink reception eased all the guests into the room and into an environment of relaxation and high sophistication. I felt at ease knowing I could leave them to their art and trust that they would do an excellent job. They were generous with their time, and I look forward to hiring them again. During the evening entertainment Status Cymbal knew exactly how to amp up the evening with the right songs that the crowd would both enjoy to hum along to or beautifully facilitate their cocktail drinking and conversations. Thank you, Status Cymbal. "
