Red Priest
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Red Priest is a British baroque group that formed in 1997 and comprises four members. Piers Adams - recorder, Julia Bishop - violin, Angela East - cello and Howard Beach, harpsichord. It is named after the red-haired priest and baroque composer, Antonio Vivaldi.
The quartet plays in a flamboyant, theatrical and virtuosic style making use of props, costumes, dramatic lighting and other effects.
In addition to touring all over the world, Red Priest has released several albums. These include a contemporary take on Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, as well as an album of the programme for their 2009 concert tour: Pirates of the Baroque.
