Description: | ![]() Ancient and modern meet in a spectacular musical fusion. PIERS ADAMS - recorders LYNDY MAYLE - keyboards Prepare to be uplifted and enthralled by one of the most original duos in today's rapidly changing musical world. "A wonderfully refreshing voyage of discovery... an extraordinary musical experience." Main Post, Germany "The reigning recorder virtuoso in the world today." Washington Post, USA Programme
Piers Adams is widely regarded as one of the greatest recorder players of our time. Over his 40-year career he has recorded numerous CDs and given thousands of concerts and broadcasts across the world with his iconic baroque ensemble Red Priest (www.redpriest.com), and as soloist in many other contexts, attracting the highest acclaim for his bold and creative musicianship. He has long held a dream to combine the simplicity of the recorder with the universe of possibilities offered by modern-day synth technology, and this led to the release of his ground-breaking album Bach Side of the Moon in 2018 (which reached no.5 in the international New Age charts) and - since fortuitously crossing paths with Lyndy - to the formation of Baroque Alchemy.
Lyndy Mayle studied piano and harpsichord at the Royal College of Music, where she was a multiple prizewinning student. Deciding against the uncertainties of a career as a solo harpsichordist, she worked instead as a music director at the National Theatre and as a recording artist for film and TV, before training and practising for several years as a music therapist, and latterly establishing herself as a highly respected piano teacher and accompanist. Baroque Alchemy marks a welcome return to the concert platform - and to her early music roots - and she brings a wealth of musical experience, passion and spirit to this joyful musical collaboration.
Baroque Alchemy’s debut touring season includes appearances in several UK festivals and theatres as well the closing concert in the world’s premier recorder festival, the Blockflöten Festtage (Germany).
