The London Gypsy Orchestra

Eastern European & Balkan Gypsy & Folk Music

About Me

Music from Eastern Europe and the Balkans, performed with Gypsy spirit and the force of a 35-piece orchestra. Expect fiery fiddling, vibrant strings, mandolins, accordions, voices, horns and more, in exuberant dance tunes and dramatic songs of romantic passion, strange adventures and curious moral tales!
The London Gypsy Orchestra is a London-based group of musicians from all backgrounds, who share an enthusiasm and flair for Eastern European Gypsy and folk music. Founded at the beginning of 2005 by Gundula Gruen, the LGO now performs at festivals and events, receiving an enthusiastic response from audiences.
Their repertoire includes music from Russia, Romania, Hungary, Macedonia, Bulgaria and more – ranging from popular tunes to lesser-known pieces discovered by Gundula and members of the orchestra. These tunes are crafted into artful and infectious pieces, inspiring everyone to dance or move along.
The strength of the orchestra is their live performance – it's more than music, it's a cultural journey that's a thrilling experience for both audience and performers!
Step aboard the London Gypsy Orchestra's Musical Caravan for an exhilirating journey through Eastern Europe and the Balkans!
