October 2011.  Big win for Chris Humphrey

October 2011.  Welcome London composer Paul Ayres

Picture
RedHouse is pleased to welcome another fine composer to our team.  Paul Ayres was born in London, studied music at Oxford University, and now works freelance as a composer & arranger, choral conductor & musical director, and organist & accompanist. His music usually involves words - solo songs, choral pieces, music for theatre productions - and he is particularly interested in working with pre-existing music, from arrangements of folksongs, hymns, jazz standards and nursery rhymes to ‘re-compositions’ of classical works, as in Messyah, Purcell’s Funeral Sentence and 4A Wreck.
