Artists
Piers Adams – Recorders

Piers Adams, well known for his iconic baroque ensemble Red Priest, is widely regarded as one of the greatest recorder players of our time.
Lyndy Mayle studied piano and harpsichord at the Royal College of Music, where she was a multiple prizewinning student.  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 is a beacon for our changing musical times and aims to introduce an entirely new audience to music of the past, as well as taking traditional classical music lovers on an exciting journey of discovery. At the heart of everything Piers and Lyndy do is a genuine love of the music, a depth of knowledge of baroque performance practice and a truly open-hearted, adventurous approach to performance which draws in the audience and makes the music fresh and accessible to everyone.
