WASHINGTON: On Saturday, February 23, 2008 at 8pm, English Baroque sensation Red Priest returns to the stage at Dumbarton Concerts with a program of stolen masterworks and forgotten jewels. Included on the program will be Vivaldi's Tempesta di Mare Concerto.

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 performs largely from memory, allowing an operatic level of freedom and interaction, and its highly imaginative programs are drawn from myriad baroque sources to create a kaleidoscopic range of moods and colors.
