The Maxwell Quartet combines a refined approach to classical works with a passion for its own folk heritage and a commitment to expanding the string quartet repertoire through wide-ranging projects. Friends since they met playing in youth orchestras in Scotland, their tight bond shows through in compelling musical interpretations and their joyous communication with audiences.

Strongly connected to its own Scottish roots, the group often performs classical repertoire and new music alongside folk-inspired works. Their programme this evening does exactly that, combining works by Dvořák and Haydn alongside their own interpretations of Scottish folk music.
