Scottish piper Brìghde Chaimbeul and the Maxwell Quartet join forces in a programme in which folk music and classical music merge seamlessly. From the repetitive patterns of Philip Glass’s Two Pages and String Quartet No. 2 to the lyrical sounds of Linda Buckley’s Thar Farraige, all the musicians come together.
Folk music forms the common thread, with traditional Psalms, Laments and Waulking Songs, largely from female traditions, and new arrangements in which the Maxwell Quartet and Chaimbeul explore each other’s worlds. Prokofiev’s String Quartet No. 2, infused with folk melodies from the independent republic of Kabardino-Balkaria in Russia, completes the circle.
