Brìghde Chaimbeul is a leading purveyor of experimental Celtic music and of the Scottish smallpipes; a bellows-powered set of bagpipes with a double-note drone. She has devised a completely unique way of arranging for pipe music that emphasises the rich textural drones of the instrument; the constancy of sound that creates a trance-like atmosphere, played with enticing virtuosic liquidity.
The Maxwell Quartet combines a refined approach to classical works, a passion for its own folk heritage, and a commitment to expand the string quarter repertoire through wide-ranging projects. Since forming officially in 2010 at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland as postgraduate students, the quartet has collaborated with a global roster of artists and toured extensively. In 2023 The Maxwell Quartet released Gather, which brings together traditional Scottish music ranging from 1200 to the present day, such as an ancient Celtic plainchant, fishermen’s songs, pipe marches from the Western Isles and Shetland reels, as well as new compositions.
