8 November: Budapest Cafe Orchestra

Calstock Arts are thrilled to welcome back the Budapest Cafe Orchestra to the Old Chapel

In 2009 Christian Garrick established the refreshingly unconventional and snappily attired Budapest Café Orchestra (BCO) with the intention to present a broad range of music from all over the world in the most entertaining and fun way.  BCO perform all their music from memory. Combined their trademark wit and charm, audiences are left tingling with warmth, delight and amazement.

BCO are one of the very busiest acoustic groups for me today playing an average of 75 shows per annum.  Since their inception they have recorded one album every year and in January 2025 made their 16th waxing Goulash Supernova.  BCO are frequent guests to BBC Radio 3’s In Tune.

“Not so much a band name as a whole genre of its own, Budapest Café Orchestra embraces an encyclopaedia of music and mischief.”  SCOTSMAN

“Your music is really great.” Helena Bonham Carter

“The music is magic in their hands.”  Sean Rafferty BBC Radio 3

“Absolutely acoustically electrifying!”  Time Out
