ZRI

Picture
ZRI stands for Zum Roten Igel, or ‘To the Red Hedgehog’, the tavern in 19th century Vienna where Schubert and Brahms both went to hear Gypsy and folk music. Beginning with their radical re-scoring of the Brahms Clarinet Quintet to include accordion and santouri (dulcimer), ZRI has also developed equally captivating programmes which re-imagine Schubert’s great C major quintet, "Adventure with Charlie Chaplin", and "Waltz with Schoenberg". The group has performed at major festivals across the UK and abroad and has made critically-acclaimed discs of both the Schubert and Brahms Quintets. 

​Ben  Harlan - clarinet
Iris  Pissaride - santouri

Jon  Banks - accordion
Matthew  Sharp - cello
Max  Baillie - violin
