Lyndy Mayle keyboards

Ancient and modern meet in a spectacular musical fusion!

Baroque Alchemy is the realisation of a long held dream. Ever since the explosion in popularity of synth-led bands and ‘new age’ music in the 1980s, recorder virtuoso Piers Adams has nurtured a vision to combine the simple beauty of the recorder – and the drama of baroque music – with the extraordinary, expansive sound-world of the electronic era.

Now, following a 25-year international career as front-man of the acoustic baroque super-group Red Priest, Piers presents a stunning new project with his keyboardist partner Lyndy Mayle which turns the traditional early music recital on its head, transporting it into a new dimension for the 21st century.

Piers Adams is widely regarded as one of the greatest recorder players of our age. He has recorded numerous CDs and given thousands of concerts and broadcasts across the world with his iconic ensemble Red Priest, attracting the highest acclaim for his bold and creative musicianship. His lifelong interest in alternative philosophies led to the creation of his ground-breaking recording ‘Bach Side of the Moon’ (which reached No. 5 in the international New Age charts) – and now to the arrival of Baroque Alchemy!

Lyndy Mayle was a multi-prizewinning harpsichord student at the Royal College of Music before becoming a music director at the National Theatre, and subsequently working as a music therapist and highly respected piano teacher. She now returns to the concert stage, bringing a wealth of musical experience, passion and spirit to this joyful musical collaboration.
