The Maxwell Quartet, fashioned in 2010 in Glasgow, Scotland, is now an internationally prizewinning string quartet (2017 Trondheim Worldwide Chamber Music Competitors) with performances hailed by The New York Occasions as “eloquent performers … they convey the identical sense of charisma and journey to their performing … the sound of conventional fiddle carried over superbly into recent readings of Haydn and Beethoven.” The ensemble holds distinguished visitor college positions on the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow and the Music at Paxton Pageant within the Scottish Borders.
