Beginning with their radical re-scoring of the Brahms Clarinet Quintet to include accordion and santouri (dulcimer), ZRI has developed equally captivating programs 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 - clarinetIris  Pissaride - santouriJon  Banks - accordionMax  Baillie - violinMatthew  Sharp - cello St Mary's Church, London DD/MM/YYYY
