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 and as soloist in many other contexts.  His dream to combine the simplicity of the recorder with the possibilities offered by modern-day synth technology led to the release of ground-breaking album Bach Side of the Moon in 2018 (which reached no.5 in the international New Age charts) and to the formation of Baroque Alchemy.

Lyndy Mayle studied piano and harpsichord at Chetham’s School of Music and the Royal College of Music. She has worked as music director of several productions at the National Theatre in London and as a recording artist on film and TV soundtracks.  Moving away from the performing world she practised for many years as a music therapist before developing her reputation as a highly respected piano teacher.  Baroque Alchemy marks her 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.
