A boutique band of four virtuoso musicians, Budapest Café Orchestra present music from all corners of the world in their own unique, fresh and surprising way. From Balkan and Russian traditional music, from artful distillations of Romantic masterworks to soaring Gaelic folk anthems, BCO is an infectious musical experience. 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.
“Not so much a band name as a whole genre of its own, Budapest Café Orchestra embraces an encyclopaedia of music and mischief.” Scotsman

With impassioned Hungarian Czardas, tender Russian folk melodies and rollicking dances from Romania and Moldavia. 'They will leave you with a grin on your face and rhythm in your feet' (The Times).
