Red Priest

Piers Adams - recorders
Adam Summerhayes - violin
Angela East - cello
David Wright - harpsichord

Music by Vivaldi, Telemann, Handel, Biber, Byrd and Mielczewski and Hungarian folk melodies.

They called him the Red Priest – but you probably know him better as Antonio Vivaldi. Led by “superhuman” recorder player Piers Adams, 'baroque supergroup' Red Priest puts the fire back into the baroque, making every performance into a carnival.

Tonight, it’s all about the gypsy spirit, with wild, folk-inspired music by Telemann, Handel and of course Vivaldi himself. If you’ve heard them before (they sold out last season), you won’t need telling twice: they’re hot stuff!
