Red Priest: Truly Madly Baroque
Presented by Maidenhead Music Society.
Red Priest – recently described in the New York Times as ‘the wildly virtuosic little band’ – has been at the cutting edge of baroque music performance for over a quarter of a century.
Formed in 1997 by recorder virtuoso Piers Adams, together with violinist Julia Bishop, cellist Angela East and the late Julian Rhodes, harpsichord (a role filled since 2011 by David Wright) – and named after the original ‘red priest’ Antonio Vivaldi – the quartet has developed a truly unique style, combining high-energy performance, boundary crossing arrangements and theatrical presentation, delighting audiences across the globe.
‘For sheer technical wizardlry, charismatic showmanship and expressive devilment, Red Priest is in an exhilarating class of its own’ BBC Music Magazine
