About

Piers Adams - recorders Lyndy Mayle - keyboard

An evening with a difference and one to bring baroque into the 21st century involving
electronic keyboards! International recorder player and Red Priest frontman Piers Adams, the leading recorder virtuoso in the world today (Washington Post), joins forces with multi-talented keyboardist Lyndy Mayle in Baroque Alchemy an extraordinary electro-baroque fusion duo. This programme has been impressing music societies throughout the country. Piers has performed for the Music Circle before with his group Red Priest. His mission, with Lyndy, is to to alchemise baroque (and other classical) music and bring it into the 21st century, but in a way which is appealing to traditional classical audiences as well as younger, more eclectic ones. The beauty of the synth is that it can produce a wondrous range of sounds and as such it is the perfect accompaniment to the purity and natural expression of the recorder. Piers and Lyndy re-imagine music from mediaeval and baroque masters to modern day tango and jazz. The wizardry of the keyboard and expressive power of Piers' recorders promises a perfect blend of ancient and modern in a dazzling and moving performance.
