Budapest Café Orchestra, a refreshingly unconventional and snappily attired boutique orchestra, was established in 2009 by British composer and violinist Christian Garrick, going on to win legions of fans with their magical and infectious performances. They are a small but impeccably formed ensemble of just four players, combining violin, guitar, accordion, double bass, saz and balalaika to dazzling effect and creating an awesome aural alchemy normally only characteristic of far larger ensembles.
Two of the country?s celebrated international soloists revel at the heart of proceedings. Eddie Hession is a supreme accordion champion of Great Britain. In his illustrious career he has accompanied Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, Jose Carreras and Chris Rea. Christian himself is one of the world?s most celebrated jazz violinists, having played with Dame Cleo Laine, Sir John Dankworth, Wynton Marsalis, Nigel Kennedy, Bireli Lagrene, Tim Minchin, Caro Emerald and John Etheridge. Joining them is one of Russia's most enigmatic musical exports, The Sultan (sic Adrian Zolotuhin) who is a master of the strummed strings of domra, balalaika, guitar and saz. Last, but not least, veteran bass-man Kelly Cantlon has been in the business of laying down the low notes for many-a-moon. Kelly first found fame as a Vagabond with Northern Soul sensations, Jimmy James and the Vagabonds.
Evoking vivid images of Tzigane fiddle maestros and Budapest café life - plus a few surprises along the way - they bring to the stage immense skill and profound musicianship, whilst also being hugely entertaining. A show by the BCO is enough to make you want to book that holiday down the Danube!
