about this event
Refreshingly unconventional and snappily attired boutique orchestra BCO play gypsy and folk-flavoured music in their unique and surprising way. From Balkan and Russian traditional music to their artful distillations of Romantic masterworks to soaring Gaelic folk anthems, this is an infectious musical experience like none other. Fifteen albums to their name, Budapest Café Orchestra was established by British composer and violinist Christian Garrick in 2009. This diminutive ensemble creates an astonishing soundscape and aural alchemy characteristic of larger ensembles, combining violin, guitar, accordion, double bass, saz, balalaika, domra and percussion to dazzling effect.
