Milverton Concert Society - Red Priest

Four piece Baroque super-group Red Priest return to St Andrew’s Church, Wiveliscombe on Saturday 20 September 2025  7.30pm.

This ‘wildly virtuosic little band’ has been at the cutting edge of baroque music performance for over a quarter of a century and they have become an international phenomenon with their creative arrangements and swashbuckling virtuosity.

Recorder virtuoso Piers Adams, together with violinist, Julia Bishop, Cellist, Angela East and Harpsichordist David Wright have developed a truly unique style, combining high energy performance, boundary crossing arrangements and theatrical presentation, delighting audiences across the globe.

They are back by popular demand after their sell out concert in Wiveliscombe in 2021, performing their programme ‘Baroque Extravaganza’.

‘For sheer technical wizardry, charismatic showmanship, and expressive devilment, Red Priest is in an exhilarating class of its own.’ (BBC Music Magazine)

This extraordinary acoustic foursome has been described by music critics as ‘visionary and heretical’, ‘outrageous yet compulsive’, ‘completely wild and deeply imaginative’.
