Vivaldi was called the red priest because he was red-haired and priestly. You couldn't necessarily see that with the hair, because wigs were state-of-the-art in his time - and the priest's wedding was so-so, as he never came across as such. Instead, he came to manage a home for lost children in Venice, where young girls received a musical education. A large part of the many concerts he composed; over 400 and for many different instruments, are composed for these young musicians.
