International Artist Series: Maxwell String Quartet

Submitted Photo The Maxwell String Quartet consists of four men from Scotland and England, and they will be coming to perform in Minot on March 3 at Ann Nicole Nelson Hall.

Four close friends from Scotland and England will perform a folk and classical mashup in Ann Nicole Nelson Hall on March 3 at 7:30 p.m. for their first performance of their spring tour.

They formed their group during their postgraduate programs, won many awards, held several titles and are currently the Associate Artist at the Royal Conservatory of Scotland in Glascow.

The group holds a philosophy about music, according to their website: “We believe ‘Folk’ music is the root, the fundament of classical music, and our approach aims to marry the two together in a unique, free, and meaningful way. For us, every melody is a song, every rhythm a dance.” It will be shared during the children’s outreach at 4 p.m. on March 3.

They will perform traditional Scottish folk music from their newest album and from classical composers. They haven’t performed in North Dakota, but they are excited to see new parts of the United States.

“The tour will last the whole of March taking us all over the USA and ending it in South Dakota. We have spent January touring in the southern and western states and are looking forward to seeing more of America this Spring!” the website said.
