Praised as “brilliantly fresh, unexpected and exhilarating” (The Scottish Herald,) Maxwell Quartet has become one of Britain’s most acclaimed young ensembles. Maxwell as renowned for its deep roots in Scotland’s folk tradition and its adventurous approach to the classical canon.

Maxwell’s Bay Chamber program embodies this connection across centuries and styles: Byrd’s Renaissance motet in Maxwell Quartet’s own vivid arrangement, Haydn’s sparkling D Major Quartet, and Maxwell’s reimagining of traditional Scottish folk dances. The ensemble appears regularly at prestigious halls including London’s Wigmore Hall, Queen’s Hall Edinburgh, and Perth Concert Hall, and tours widely across Europe.
