Red Priest News

A big hand for Angela East who reveals the quality of music students slaved over, and later thoughtlessly decried, as 'cheapjack' work for beginner cellists and violinists .

If any Baroque-music purists survived the Houston debut of Red Priest, Tuesday's concert at Midtown's Trinity Episcopal Church would have been their personal Nightmare on Main Street.

FROM concerts to carnivals, the North East was thriving with summer fun this weekend.

Though Red Priest take glaring liberties with early music, the distinguishing character of these contrasted composers are never lost to sight.
