"Pick of the Fringe" - Edinburgh Festival
Take three hundred years of music from around the world, turn it upside down, infuse it with humour, energy, passion and pathos - and you have the recipe with which the Oxford Concert Party, described as "one of the most entertaining, mould-breaking groups around" (Oxford Times) beguiles, charms and delights their audience wherever they go. Be it Vivaldi or Piazzolla, French café music or Argentinian tango, Irish laments or Finnish polkas, this "bunch of superb musicians" (Daily Telegraph) create a rich, colourful and expressive sound, and their vibrant virtuosity, zany and offbeat humour make theirs an unforgettable performance.
