Established by award-winning British composer, violinist and teach Christian Garrick, the electrifying 4-piece Budapest Café Orchestra plays gypsy and folk-flavoured music, including traditional Balkan, Russian, Hungarian and Romanian tunes, with jazz nuances and following their own unique arrangements. Specialists of the ‘distilled concerto’, they artfully rework masterpieces by the greats of the Romantic era.

The Budapest Café Orchestra are Christian Garrick (violin, darbuka), Eddie Hession (button accordion), Kelvin Cantlon (double bass) and Adrian Zolotuhin (saz, guitar, balalaika, domra).
