Refreshingly unconventional, snappily attired, boutique orchestra.

Budapest Café Orchestra brings you gypsy and folk-flavoured music repackaged in their own fresh and surprising way. From Balkan and Russian traditional pieces to artful distillations of the masterpieces by the great Romantic composers and to Gaelic folk anthems, their infectious music will get into your veins and stay there forever.
