In 2009 Christian Garrick established the refreshingly unconventional and snappily attired Budapest Café Orchestra. Refreshingly unconventional and snappily attired boutique orchestra the BCO redeliver gypsy and folk-flavoured music in their own fresh and surprising way. From Balkan and Russian traditional pieces to artful distillations of the Romantic masterpieces to Gaelic folk anthems their infectious music will get into your bloodstream and stay there forever. With 15 albums to their name the Budapest Café Orchestra was established in 2009 by British composer and violinist, Christian Garrick.
