Red Priest

Red Priest is a British Baroque instrumental group that was formed in 1997 by Piers Adams.

The group is named after the red-haired Italian priest and Baroque composer, Antonio Vivaldi.

[2] The quartet plays in a flamboyant, theatrical and virtuosic style making use of props, costumes, dramatic lighting and other effects.

[3] The pieces they perform are generally their own arrangements, though based very closely on the original music by Vivaldi, Bach, et al.[4] In addition to touring all over the world, Red Priest are a frequent guest on BBC Radio 3's In Tune programme.
