SUMMARY:Music in the Afternoon | Maxwell Quartet
DESCRIPTION:The Maxwell Quartet is: Colin Scobie\, violin; George Smith\, violin; Elliott Perks\, viola; Duncan Strachan\, cello. \nThe Quartet is formed of four close friends\, who grew up playing folk and classical music together in youth orchestras and music schools across Scotland. The group officially began in 2010 at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland\, where its founding members met as postgraduate students. In 2011\, the Maxwell Quartet was named as Residency Artists for Enterprise Music Scotland 2011- 2013\, which saw several acclaimed concert tours over their two-year tenure. Performing widely across Scotland\, the quartet established a reputation for delighting audiences with their “unnaffected enthusiasm” (North Highland Times) and their “panache and conviction” (Strathearn Herald). The quartet has since held residencies at Oxford University\, Perth Concert Hall and many chamber music festivals across the UK\, including their own festival Loch Shiel in the west highlands of Scotland\, and a new self- curated concert series at Guardswell Farm in Perthshire. The quartet currently holds the position of Associate Artist at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow\, and at Music at Paxton Festival in the Scottish Borders. Passionate about collaborating with musicians and other artforms\, the quartet has worked with a global roster of artists and institutions including theatre company Cryptic\, installation artists Wintour’s Leap\, the Royal Ballet School\, soul duo Lunir\, folk duo Chris Stout & Catriona MacKay\, cinematographer Herman Kolgen\, and many more. In addition to a busy concert diary\, the quartet regularly feature in broadcasts for BBC Radio 3 and BBC Radio Scotland\, as well as regularly giving schools workshops and concerts for children. \nThe Program: \nHaydn | Quartet in D major Op. 20\, No. 4\, Hob. III:34\nBrahms | Quartet No. 2 in A minor\, Op. 51 No .2 \nPre-concert Lecture \nTuning Your Mind |The life of a professional string quartet player: Mark Fewer in conversation with Robin Elliott | 12.15 p.m. | Walter Hall \nHead of Strings at the Faculty of Music\, University of Toronto\, Mark Fewer was a member of the St. Lawrence String Quartet (2013-15)\, and is also a smashing fiddler.
