Proudly presented by Bedford Music Club, in this FREE pre-concert illustrated talk at the Bunyan Meeting, Dr Jon Banks explores the influence of popular Hungarian and Eastern European music on some of Brahms’ greatest music.

Come and learn some fascinating insights into the cultural mixing pot that was the late C19 Austro-Hungarian Empire. Jon will illustrate his talk with archival recordings of Hungarian bands from the early twentieth century. Jon is musical director at the Globe Theatre, lectures in music at Anglia Ruskin University and will be appearing twice in concert on Sunday 27th April with the ZRI ensemble at The Quarry Theatre.
