A great night out featuring the music of Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey and Judy Garland.

Carnival of the Seasons

£15, £10 (students) £40 family ticket
Carnival of the Seasons is a colourful reinvention of a baroque masterpiece performed with Red Priest’s irrepressible blend of virtuosity, drama and humour.
For over a decade the musicians of Red Priest have been delighting audiences worldwide with their bold and original take on music of the baroque, making it completely accessible to every generation.
Playing from memory and creating a virtual orchestra from their four instruments, Red Priest’s dynamic presentation of programmes, with their legendary blend of creativity, wit, virtuosity, and astonishing energy, has given the group a unique position in the world of music.
A reviewer from The Daily Telegraph said: "Red Priest is like no other early music instrumental ensemble you have ever heard... bringing glee to the concert scene for a decade or more transforming Baroque clichés into vivid drama, often at terrific speed and with practised coordination....with a bedrock of tremendous skill and superb timing.”
Red Priest will perform at the Lichfield Garrick on Saturday 19 May, from 7.30pm.
