The Statutory Instruments - Parl'y String Quartet

We are all very excited at the new @timesradio show coming up at 4pm - our very own @cathynewman ! Go Cathy!

Happy birthday to our cellist's former teacher and inspiration @RWallfisch !

It's our Cathy! Playing beautifully as always of course. And in a great cause- please donate if you can to help disadvantaged musicians. Thanks Cathy x

We love this!

we in Statutory Instruments are big fans of @WomensPrize - our recent performance at their event on 8th March was a lovely evening. We are standing by for tonight's online announcement of the shortlist! Then that's our Covid lockdown reading list sorted. Good luck all! X

@mgarr_aha We had a lot of laughs trying mind

@mgarr_aha Investigating this! We tried Zoom, WhatsApp, House Party and something else - nothing worked, the lag means you just csnt play together.... we keep on practicing on our own but we miss playing together so hope jamkazam might do it thanks

We are still trying to arrange an online string Quartet rehearsal - we've got a new Schubert to learn. Anyone got any tips about which app works best?

Our most recent performances already seem like years ago. We've ordered music to practice and are working out how to rehearse online. Music will help us all. #Covid19Life #socialdistancing #music

@theHouse_mag We loved it! Thanks for having us, what a lovely event

We are setting up in House of Commons Terrace Pavilion for the Women in Westminster celebrations. We play between 4pm and 5pm ish.

Our first time we played the Beethoven Op18 for other people, and for the @WomensPrize for fiction. Thanks to @katemosse and everyone for inviting and welcoming us in such a celebration of women's writing. @Emily_Benn @cathynewman @ChibahKatherine @ThangamMP #IWD2020

Perfect sentiment! Thank you @Opus13Music and #Beethoven

We have all been practising this weekend! #beethoven #mozart

Thank you! Not sure what it is but the sentiment could be our motto!

We rehearsed Beethoven and Mozart last night and marvelled at the magic effect of playing together - we are better as a whole sound than when practicing alone

Back together for another rehearsal - Beethoven and Mozart. If you are an MP (any party!), staffer, Parliamentary staff or political journalist who plays an instrument well, and wants to join us some time - Brahms sextet? Trout quintet? Mendelssohn octet? - let us know!

Our cellist @ThangamMP is the guest on this month's @politics_sound podcast. Wonder if we get a mention?

We are practising and rehearsing and getting ready for our next concerts, featuring Beethoven Opus 18 Number 1. Details soon!

@ChibahKatherine Excellent! Did you mark any new bowing? 😉
