Formed in 1988, the Maggini Quartet is stablished as one of the finest British string quartets.

The Maggini Quartet appear regularly in prestigious concert series at home and abroad and are frequent media broadcasters.

Their initiative ‘The Glory of the English String Quartet’ draws upon the wonderfully
varied and distinctive repertoire, mostly from the first half of the 20th Century, which they are committed to bringing to a worldwide audience.

In addition to their concert activity, the members of the Quartet have an international reputation as chamber music coaches.

We are fortunate to have such champions of British music on hand for the performance of Malcolm Arnold’s Quartet no. 2, composed in 1975. His first quartet was performed at Bournemouth Chamber Music some years ago, and much enjoyed.

The Maggini complement the Arnold quartet with two renowned masterpieces of the classical era by Haydn and Brahms.

They last appeared at Bournemouth Chamber Music in 2002.

“theirs is music-making of entrancing skill, cogent drive and tangible dedication”
Gramophone
