Red Priest

Red Priest

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 and theatrical style making use of props, costumes, dramatic lighting and other effects combined with a virtuosistic style.

In addition to touring all over the world, Red Priest has released several albums. The most recent is a contemporary take on Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons".
