Scottish Sound Magic in the Studio of Beethovenhalle
When the Maxwell Quartet and Brìghde Chaimbeul meet on September 30, 2026, in Bonn, string quartet, smallpipes, and minimalist sound architecture merge into an evening that goes far beyond a classical concert. The program is announced for the Beethovenfest Bonn, starting at 6:00 PM in the Studio of Beethovenhalle; the admission fee is 19 euros.

Between Folk and Minimal Music
The Maxwell Quartet is considered one of the most prominent young string quartets in Great Britain. The ensemble won 1st Prize and the Audience Prize at the Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition in 2017 and is praised by specialized media for its vivid storytelling, freshness, and the connection of classical form with Scottish folk music. The group has performed in renowned venues such as Wigmore Hall, the Queen’s Hall Edinburgh, and at international festivals. ([maxwellstringquartet.com](https://www.maxwellstringquartet.com/bio))
Brìghde Chaimbeul Brings the Pull of the Smallpipes
Brìghde Chaimbeul represents Celtic experimentalism with a distinctive touch. On her official website, she describes the Scottish smallpipes as a quieter, bellows-blown counterpart to the Highland bagpipes; their sound relies on dense drones, trance-like atmosphere, and influences from ambient, avant-garde, and electronic music. Awards such as the BBC Young Folk Award and the BBC Horizon Award underscore her international relevance. ([brichaimbeul.com](https://www.brichaimbeul.com/?utm_source=openai))
A Program with Hypnotic Tension
According to the organizer, the evening includes Philip Glass’ Two Pages for Bagpipes & String Quartet No. 3 "Mishima" as well as music from the albums Carry them With Us, Gather, and Sunwise. It is here that the concert experience unfolds its unique power: repetitive patterns, floating bow strokes, and the warm, breathing tone of the smallpipes create a live atmosphere that is both concentrated and physically palpable.
