Baroque Alchemy
Running Time: 110 minutes, including an interval
£16/£14
School Group Booking Discounts Available. Please email [email protected]
International recorder player and Red Priest frontman Piers Adams – described in the Washington Post as ‘the leading recorder virtuoso in the world today’ – joins forces with multi-talented keyboardist Lyndy Mayle in this extraordinary ‘electro-baroque fusion’ duo. By replacing the familiar sound of the harpsichord with the universe of possibilities offered by the modernday keyboard, Piers and Lyndy expand upon the dreams of composers of the past, re-imagining music from mediaeval and baroque masters to modern day tango, folk and jazz. The wizardry of the keyboard – a plethora of instruments in one – is balanced by the natural expressive power of Piers’ unique collection of recorders, creating a perfect blend of ancient and modern, in a dazzling, varied and moving performance. This is a recorder recital like no other!
The programme will include music by Bach, Vivaldi, Albinoni, Telemann, Piazzolla, Albeniz and many others.
“Baroque Alchemy is pure gold! What a perfectly matched duo for this innovative and extremely entertaining venture!” – Sussex Express
“A power rarely experienced in classical music… An extraordinary musical experience.” – Main Post (Germany)
