Baroque Alchemy (past concert)
Sunday 27 October 3pm
Single concert - ticket £15 U21s £7.50
Lyndy Mayle - electronic keyboards
Piers Adams - recorders
Baroque Alchemy is a unique fusion of old and new, bringing together the simplicity of one of the earliest wind instruments, the recorder, with the 21st century technological wizardry of the electronic keyboard. The repertoire, mostly drawn from the baroque era, explores the myriad possibilities of this combination in a variety of ways – from the authentic reproduction of acoustic instruments to space-age sound worlds of which the composers could only have dreamed. Baroque Alchemy’s vision is to break free from the constraints of the classical music world and reimagine some of their favourite music in a way which they hope is engaging and inspiring.
Ross Morris (past concert)

Currently based in Glasgow, Ross’s performing career has taken him to stages across the UK and North America, and he has toured with Scottish National Opera (2023) and Glyndebourne Opera Company (2021). As a chamber musician, Ross is a member of the Morris Begg Duo and also Quartet Malamatina, who have toured the UK and Canada, performed live for the BBC as well as commissioning and premiering two new works for the ensemble.
