Maxwell String Quartet- Meg McRae / Father John Mac Millan of Barra (Arranged by Maxwell Quartet)
A track from our latest album 'gather'
George Smith, Colin Scobie- Violin
Elliott Perks- Viola
Duncan Strachan- Cello
1st Prizewinner and Audience Prizewinner at the 9th Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition in 2017 and hailed as “brilliantly fresh, unexpected and exhilarating” by The Scottish Herald, the Maxwell Quartet is now firmly regarded 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.
The quartet performs regularly across the UK, at venues
including London’s Wigmore Hall, Purcell Room, Queen’s Hall Edinburgh and Perth Concert Hall. The quartet has toured widely across Europe, with performances in France, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and Portugal, including at Tivoli Copenhagen, Muziekgebouw Amsterdam, Stavanger Kammermusikkfestival and the Rheingau, Just Classik, Wonderfeel, Lammermuir, Cheltenham and St Magnus Festivals. The Maxwells’ debut tour of the USA in January 2019 garnered critical acclaim from the New York Times “eloquent performers who bring the same sense of charisma and sense of adventure to their programming”, and saw the group performing to sold out venues in New York, Florida, California and Washington.

      Used to have this song by that group on a cassette I bought when on a mountain walking trip in Skye from Ireland in the late 1990s....oh the memories ...a beautiful piece.....will be no back again at 76! Remember staying at a hostel in Glenbrittle.

    Wonderful concert in Newberry, SC. I have never experienced such wonderful harmony and beauty in music. To be as young and gifted as this Quartet is truly a blessing to experience. Their original piece takes your mind and spirit to Scotland. Love your music, love your CD.

    I only discovered Catriona and Chris, as soloists and together, in the past year..and avidly tracked-down every TH-cam video since. Hugely complex, richly-textured, excitingly-syncopated, meltingly-beautiful, with an overwhelming sense, always, of music-making of the very highest order. Sadly, living in Devon, little chance of ever seeing these elusive Scottish masters in the flesh, so please just keep posting performances...

  • @thewolfethatcould8878
    @thewolfethatcould8878 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ok, so going out on a big limb here...1st off I have never heard of your lovely band, nor have I played any of your instruments. Last night I started tapping my kitchen counter with my right hand just exactly like the amazing Harpist is doing so here. The same Exact rhythm that she is tapping and the same frequency. It is just as if I was completing it with my right hand whilst she is completing the other half with her left hand. Not sure if that makes any sense at all, but I am completely blown away. How Beautiful! Thank you!

    I love to see classical musicians playing Scots tunes. Some of these tunes are "simple" but evocative nevertheless. Scott Skinner said .." Simplicity does not imply a dearth of genius!" True.
