The Red Hedgehog was a Viennese tavern frequented by many famous composers. Explore the wonderful world of Brahms, the tavern, Hungary and klezmer.​

April 26-27 2025 in Bedford

If you had turned up at 'Zum Roten Igel' (The Red Hedgehog) in the nineteenth century you might well have bumped into Schubert, Schumann, Mendelssohn or Brahms enjoying gossip, goulash, gypsy songs and general banter.​

This weekend's events imagine the kinds of Hungarian musics Brahms might  have heard there and how these found their way into his greatest works, not least his Clarinet Quintet.
