Budapest Café Orchestra

Thu 18 Nov • 7.30pm • Admission £25 • Music

BCO are a boutique band of four virtuoso musicians. 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!
