Re-Folking the Classics: Britten Sinfonia with ZRI Quintet

Wednesday 15 April 2026 7pm

Britten Sinfonia and the ZRI Quintet present re‑imagined “re‑folked” versions of Viennese classics, inspired by the 19th‑century Red Hedgehog Tavern where composers like Schubert and Brahms heard emotive folk music. 

The programme blends Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms and Webern with folk‑band colours, arranged for orchestra and a quintet featuring clarinet, cello, violin, accordion and hammer dulcimer. It offers an evening of lively, folk‑infused chamber works celebrating central and eastern European musical traditions.
