The Athenaeum welcomes the return of one of its audience’s favorite string quartets: the Maxwell String Quartet. The quartet performs regularly across the UK and has toured widely across Europe. On their debut tour of the United States in 2019, the New York Times called them “eloquent performers.” These friends, who met as postgraduate students at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, will play an adventurous concert of Haydn’s String Quartet in E-flat and Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 14 in C-sharp minor with the added charm of "Work Songs" folk songs from Scotland they have arranged. Performers are Colin Scobie and George Smith, violins; Elliott Perks, viola; and Duncan Strachan, cello. A preconcert talk will occur at 6:30 p.m.Related linksAthenaeum Music and Arts Library: website | Instagram | Facebook
