Britain's What's On Event Guide
Christian Garrick and The Budapest Café Orchestra
Budapest Café Orchestra are a gypsy & folk-flavoured boutique band of four virtuoso musicians.
Christian Garrick (violin & darbuka)
Murray Grainger (accordion)
Kellly Cantlon (double bass)
Adrian Zolotuhin (guitar, saz, balalaika & domra)
They present music from all corners of the world in their own unique, fresh and surprising way. From Balkan and Russian traditional music to their artful distillations of Romantic masterworks to soaring Gaelic folk anthems, BCO is an infectious musical experience that will enter your bloodstream and stay there forever.
With sixteen albums to their name Budapest Café Orchestra was established by British composer and violinist Christian Garrick in 2009. BCO combines violin, guitar, accordion, double bass, saz, balalaika, domra and percussion to dazzling effect creating an astonishing soundscape and aural alchemy characteristic of larger ensembles.
Evoking vivid images of Tzigane fiddle maestros, Budapest café life and gypsy campfires - plus a few surprises along the way - hugely entertaining, immense skill and profound musicianship. A show by the BCO is enough to make you want to book that holiday down the Danube!
'Not so much a band name as a whole genre of its own, Budapest Café Orchestra embraces an encyclopaedia of music and mischief.' Scotsman
'Their arrangements are brilliant, their improvisations inspired. Their humour and, on occasion, sheer silliness hides a real brilliance of execution. In every bit of the material the charming irony hides really serious and focussed music-making. This is entertainment of a high order.' Sir Roger Norrington
'Absolutely acoustically electrifying!' Time Out
'the fiery vivacity and awe-inspiring musicianship of the finest purveyors of Eastern European gypsy music this side of a Lada scrap heap will leave you with a grin on your face and rhythm in your feet…' Times
