Combining the simplicity of the recorder with modern-day synth technology led to the release of his ground-breaking album Bach Side of the Moon in 2018 and to the formation of Baroque Alchemy with Lyndy Mayle.
Baroque Alchemy re-imagines music from baroque masters to tango, folk and jazz, creating a perfect blend of ancient and modern. It has given sellout performances throughout the UK and Europe.
Lyndy Mayle was a multiple prizewinning student before working as a music director at the National Theatre in London and as a recording artist on film and TV soundtracks. She practised for many years as a music therapist and a highly respected piano teacher. Baroque Alchemy marks her return to the concert platform.
Music Box Wealden, the brainchild of local pianist William Hancox, is a Community Interest Company which provides a varied programme of classical music to venues throughout Sussex, with many performers drawn from the wide pool of talented professional musicians who live locally.
