WMS presents 'Johann I'm Only Dancing' by Red Priest

Friday 26 March 7.45pm

With Piers Adam (recorders), Julia Bishop (violin), Angela East (cello), Howard Beach (harpsichord)

A dynamic presentation of music by the greatest genius of the baroque era, Johann Sebastian Bach, performed with Red Priest's legendary blend of creativity, wit and virtuosity.

The programme includes epic transcriptions of Brandenburg Concerto no.3 and the great Toccata and Fugue in d minor, alongside a host of dazzling allegros, whirling dances and some of the most sublime adagios ever composed. Red Priest's arrangements are inspired by Bach's own improvisatory zeal, and they play entirely from memory with astonishing energy, creating a virtual orchestra from their four instruments

"One of the most exhilarating groups I've encountered in many a long year" - Classic FM
