7:30PM – Red Priest (early music ensemble)
Taking their name from Vivaldi’s nickname, they are absolute must-see ensemble for any lover of baroque / early music:
“For sheer technical wizardry, charismatic showmanship and expressive devilment, Red Priest is in an exhilarating class of its own.”
— BBC Music Magazine
