Maxwell Quartet

Performers‍ ‍

COLIN SCOBIE, violin GEORGE SMITH, violin ELLIOTT PERKS, viola DUNCAN STRACHEN, cello

Praised as "brilliantly fresh, unexpected and exhilarating" (The Scottish Herald) and for their "superb storytelling by four great communicators" (The Strad), the Maxwell Quartet has become one of Britain's most acclaimed ensembles. Renowned for their deep roots in Scotland's folk tradition and their adventurous approach to the classical canon, they bring charisma, warmth, and a sense of discovery to everything they play. After rapturous receptions on previous visits, they return to Bay Chamber with a program that places their much-loved reimaginings of traditional Scottish folk dances alongside Brahms' magnificent A Minor Quartet. "Take note of the Maxwell Quartet… they bring charisma and a sense of adventure to their programs." The New York Times
