MAXWELL QUARTET

COLIN SCOBIE, violin

GEORGE SMITH, violin

ELLIOTT PERKS, viola

DUNCAN STRACHEN, cello

1st Prizewinner and Audience Prizewinner at the 9th Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition, and hailed as “brilliantly fresh, unexpected and exhilarating” by The Scottish Herald, the Maxwell Quartet is now firmly established as one of Britain's finest young string quartets, with a strong connection to their folk music heritage and a commitment to bringing together wide-ranging projects and programmes to expand the string quartet repertoire. 

Returning to Screen Door after their previous, highly acclaimed visit, their lunchtime concert will include Haydn’s sparkling Quartet Opus 77, No.1 with music from their latest project entitled Gather, which weaves together different strands of historic Scottish music, from pipe tunes, to Celtic plainchant, to work songs, to fiddle music old and new.
