Red Priest is a boundary-crossing Baroque ensemble renowned for its virtuosic, theatrically presented performances that bring 17th- and 18th-century music to vibrant life. Formed in 1997 by recorder virtuoso Piers Adams, joined by Julia Bishop (violin), Angela East (cello), and David Wright (harpsichord), the group has captivated audiences with a playful, cinematic approach to early music. The New York Times described them as “the wildly virtuosic little band,” a testament to their exciting fusion of technical prowess and dramatic storytelling.
