Red Priest Saturday 27 June 8pm
Red Priest – Johann, I’m Only Dancing!

Music by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750),
arranged, transcribed and contorted by Red Priest.

St Michael’s Church, Lower Machen

Red Priest is one of the major success stories on the international Early Music scene today. Named after the flame-haired priest, Antonio Vivaldi, this extraordinary English ensemble has re-defined the art of baroque music performance, combining the fruits of extensive research with swashbuckling virtuosity, creative re-composition, heart-on-sleeve emotion and compelling stagecraft. The group has now turned its attention to Bach with a programme with a title stolen from David Bowie, their performance strikes a balance between the commercialism of ‘pop-Bach’ and the austerity of ‘authentic’ Bach to create a new sort of ‘rockchamber-Bach’. Not recommended for the purists!

With the support of the Colwinston Charitable Trust
