Biography
Maxim Calver first gained public recognition as a Grand Finalist and Strings Category winner of BBC Young Musician 2018. Since then he has been in high demand across the UK and Europe appearing in many of Europe’s leading venues including the Wigmore Hall, Tonhalle Zurich and Symphony Hall, Birmingham amongst others. He has appeared as a concerto soloist with the Bath, Stockport, Ipswich, Maidstone and Young Musician Symphony Orchestras amongst others and recently performed debut recitals at the Kings Lynn Festival, Oranjewoud Festival and Bridgewater Hall, Manchester.
A passionate chamber musician, Maxim has appeared at the Gstaad-Menuhin, Lewes, Stamford, Edinburgh and International Pau Casals Chamber Music Festivals. In May 2024, he was invited to the prestigious Kronberg Academy for their ‘Chamber Music Connects the World’ Festival.
Originally from Gorleston-on-Sea in Norfolk, Maxim started the cello at the age of 4 before moving to the Yehudi Menuhin School aged just 8 years old. He currently studies at the Royal College of Music with Melissa Phelps where he is proud to be an ABRSM Scholar for his postgraduate studies. He is very grateful for the support from the Amaryllis Fleming Foundation, Geoff and Val Richards, Countess of Munster Musical Trust, Drake Calleja Trust and the Hattori Foundation.
