Hailed as “brilliantly fresh, unexpected and exhilarating” (The Herald) the Maxwell Quartet is rapidly establishing itself as a dynamic and exciting force in the chamber music world, with a strong commitment to bringing together wide-ranging projects and programmes to expand the string quartet repertoire. The quartet performs regularly across the UK and abroad, at venues including London’s Wigmore Hall, Purcell Room, and St Martin-in-the-Fields, and the quartet is currently on the Park Lane Young Artist Programme, and the Tunnell Trust Awards Scheme. The Quartet formed in 2010 at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, where its founding members met as postgraduate students. In 2011 they were selected as the Royal Conservatoire's Young Artists in Residence. Passionate about collaborating with non-classical artists and other artforms, the quartet has worked with a global roster of artists and institutions. In addition to a busy concert diary, the quartet have featured in broadcasts for BBC Radio Scotland, as well as regularly giving schools workshops and concerts for children.
