The Budapest Café Orchestra play traditional folk and gypsy flavoured music from across the Balkans and Russia. Klezmer, Romanian Doinas, Hungarian Czadas and beautiful ballads. Evoking vivid images of Tzigane fiddle maestros, Budapest café life and gypsy campfires – plus a few surprises along the way – a show by the BCO is good enough to make you want to book that holiday down the Danube!
Don’t let their trilby hats fool you, these are serious musicians, with two of the country’s most revered international soloists nestled at the heart of proceedings. Exemplary accordionista Eddie Hession has accompanied the likes of Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, Jose Carreras and Chris Rea and is a former accordion champion of Great Britain. Christian Garrick is one of Europe’s most celebrated jazz violinists. His CV features Dame Cleo Laine & Sir John Dankworth, Wynton Marsalis, Nigel Kennedy and Van Morrison.
The Gaelic Chronicles is the momentous new album from the Budapest Café Orchestra inspired after five years intense touring throughout the Scottish Highlands and Islands. The second half of the show will showcase The Gaelic Chronicles with a selection of pieces from the album.
