Red Priest, a British acoustic foursome, will give a theatrical presentation of some of the most extraordinary chamber music of the baroque era. October 28, 2009 at 7:30 PM, at Theater Raymond Kabbaz. A perfect way to get into the Halloween mood!
Red Priest is the only early music group in the world to have been compare...d in the press to the Rolling Stones, Jackson Pollock, the Marx Brothers, Spike Jones and the Cirque du Soleil. They will perform Vivaldi’s Nightmare Concerto, Tartini’s Devil’s Trill sonata, Masque music by Robert Johnson, Gluck’s Dance of the Blessed Spirits, Leclair’s Demon Airs and Red Priest’s own Fantasia on Corelli’s La Follia.
Red Priest are having fun with these old favorites, but it is unpretentious fun, and it is dished up by people who know how this music works, and whose affection for the subject of their witty and anarchic fooling is never in doubt. The players' virtuosity and thorough understanding of the baroque idiom make this zaniness work. Red Priest puts the viva in Vivaldi! They play Baroque music with a sense of verve and élan, and, in the process, manage to cross the classic with modern sensibilities.
ABOUT THE THEATER
The 215-seat Théâtre Raymond Kabbaz opened in June 2000 and is the only theater in Los Angeles to dedicate a significant part of its programming to French language and culture. A non-profit arts institution, Théâtre Raymond Kabbaz is the site for performances by international artists year round, and is a place of expression for students and teachers at Lycée Français de Los Angeles.
