Are you ready for the Budapest Gypsy Symphony?
The Budapest Gypsy Symphony Orchestra, in Hungarian Szaztagu Cinanyzenekar is the worlds largest Gypsy Orchestra.
The Budapest Gypsy Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1895, when Sandor Jaroka, at the time Hungary’s most famous “primas” (gypsy soloist) died . All Hungarian Gypsy musicians decided to attend his funeral and after the ceremony they began to play . The orchestra had been born out of this improvised moment. Since its foundation the Orchestra has performed numerous concerts in many European countries , especially in France , where the orchestra performs 60 sell- out concerts every year. The orchestra has also toured successfully in Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Holland, Ireland, Italy, Turkey, and Japan.
The Budapest Gypsy Symphony Orchestra performs with the most amazing virtuosity, the soul of a whole nation. Their repertoire mixes the traditional Gypsy violin of Lazlo Berki, Grigoras Dinicu, Jeno Hubai, Victorio Manti, Elemer Szentirmay, with the great classical works of composers Johannes Brahms, Franz Liszt , Jacques Offenbach, Giocchino Rossini and Johan Strauss.
There are violins, viocellos, Double Bass, cimbalons and clarinets, all brought together to bring us lively and heart rending music of a distressing tradition and art that only belongs to them.
Magic atmosphere where each note is like a moan, a farewell, a sob and at the same time an incredible hymn for life. What dazzles the public is the art, that belongs only to these musicians, the art of playing without a break, the art of short turn and variation, which never betrays the composition but enriches it. They transmit to the spectators the energy of a nation, which has chosen music as its universal language.
Instinctive as a Gypsy gathering, rigorous as a Vienna concert, in black tuxedo or traditional dress the Budapest Gypsy symphony Orchestra gives as much to look at as to listen to.
With no contest, it is the most exciting Symphony orchestra of our time, the worlds greatest orchestra of Gypsy musicians. The Budapest Gypsy Symphony Orchestra will play the Royal Theatre Castlebar on Friday October 5 at 8pm. Tickets cost from €39.50; for more information log on to www.royaltheatre.ie.
