The Maxwell Quartet started in 2010 at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, where its members met as postgraduate students. Their career was boosted by taking 1st Prize and Audience Prize at the 9th Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition in 2017, with performances hailed by the Strad Magazine as “superb storytelling by four great communicator". 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.
