We welcome to Worcester the hugely popular Eton Open Choral Course and Ralph Allwood, who will showcase the fruits of their intensive week-long workshop at Malvern College.

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 redefined 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.
