Rajkó Musicians

The orchestra members acquired the unique performance, delighting the audience all over the world for many years, according to method of Gyula Farkas. The sound and instrumentation of music performed by them are unique and not to be equalled to anything else – characteristic only of Rajkó musicians. Each member of the Rajkó Orchestra is a many-sided qualified musician, thus they are excellent at interpreting all the music genres.

In their performance there is a kind of surplus due to their capability of representing the range of their own emotions, temper and delight of jointly paying music experienced by them since their childhood. All this is perceived by the audience, which can create a kind of interaction, which makes each performance unforgettable. The traditions of the Hungarian Gypsy music have been left by dynasties from generation to generation in the last centuries; several members of the Rajkó Orchestra can take pride in having prominent ancestors. The repertoire of the orchestra is very rich, ranging from classical music through operetta to the best-known pieces of folk music, salon music and jazz. They can be seen in all kinds of forms from chamber music version to the formation of a large symphonic orchestra on the stage.

In their concerts there are several leaders playing a role; their mentality and style making the production more spirited and rich. The leader has a role of high importance in the orchestra, since he is in a special position to evoke his own emotions and musical freedom as well so as to create a contact between the audience and the orchestra, which creates a special atmosphere producing the unique musical experience. The Rajkó Musicians consider making music to be a career, and they are committed to continue traditions and create new heart-stirring productions for the entertainment and pleasure of the honourable audience.
