Comments: Elizabeth Ball, the violinist, Graham Walker on the cello
and the leader, composer and arranger, a brilliant pianist Ivan Guevara-Bernal, thrilled and delighted the audience with their
exquisite playing of some very well-known pieces, such as Besame Mucho, La Cumparsita and Brazil together with many other pieces,
not so well known, but equally enjoyable. This was an exciting evening, loudly applauded by the members and the
sponsors.

STATUS CYMBAL is the String Quartet with a difference. As well as playing the works of Mozart,
Beethoven and all the other great composers for the medium, it is also able to bring the same dedication of performance to its own unique library
of sparkling and witty arrangements of all kinds of popular music from Opera through Swing and Jazz to the great Musicals, Pop hits and Rock
classics, including tunes by the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Abba and many more.
"Banish all previous conceptions of a string quartet from your mind - Status Cymbal are definitely different. They gave
us a brilliant classical first half programme then a fun packed romp through the 20th Century in the second half. It was a pleasure having them
with us and their performance was thoroughly enjoyed by our audience of over 800 members".
