Maverick Quartet

The Maverick Quartet was founded in 2016 by UNO string faculty Drs. Mary Perkinson and Olga Smola, violins; Brian Sherwood, viola; and Gregory Clinton, cello. The members have established careers as soloists, chamber musicians, and orchestral musicians and have performed throughout North and South America, Europe, Russia, and Asia. The quartet performs annual chamber music concerts and frequently perform with invited guest artists from Omaha and beyond.

The Maverick Quartet is dedicated to enriching the lives of young string players through pedagogy and artistry. They conduct frequent clinics throughout the state and co-founded Partners in Performance, nationally recognized and award winning and program that partners with Omaha Area Youth Orchestras and area schools to contribute to a culture of leadership and mentorship.

UNO’s Maverick String Quartet has been string-quartet-in-residence at the Fred and Pamela Buffett Cancer Center’s Healing Arts program since 2018.
