Preceded by a performance from Shropshire Music Service's young 'World Folk Ensemble' at 7pm.

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. Not so much a band name as a whole genre of its own!

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

PARKING

There is no parking available at Prestfelde School for the concert, other than for disabled audience members with a valid blue badge displayed.

Please use the public Shirehall Overflow Carpark (SY2 6NS) on the London Road (less than a two minute walk away from the school).  The entrance to the car park is directly opposite Warner Furnishings, which is next to the White Horse Pub.
