I'm working for British composer/arranger, choral director and organist Paul Ayres, who has two forthcoming trips to the USA (dates and venues below). If your choir (school/church/arts organisation) would be interested in booking Paul in any combination of his professional services as
- composer (eg workshops on his own music, working with student or local composers)
- director (choral music sessions on various areas of repertoire, concerts, services)
- player (solo recitals, choral accompaniment, masterclass)

please do contact me:

thankyou, Choralnet!



TRIP #1
based around an event near Albany NY - so MA, CT and NJ could be within striking distance

Fri 28 May - available
Sat 29 May - Paul attends performance at Emma Willard School, Troy NY, of his prize-winning piece in the school's centenary composition competition (5pm) - morning may be available, if close by
Sun 30 May - available
Mon 31 May - available
Tues 1 June - possibly available

we realise this is the Memorial Day holiday, and it's quite short notice, but the British Council has just offered to pay for the international flight, so this keeps costs for the host organisation to a minimum


TRIP #2
based around two invitations in SC - so NC and GA could be visited too

Wed 28 July - Paul gives a solo recital in Greenville SC
Thu 29 July - available
Fri 30 July - available
Sat 31 July - available
1, 2, 3 August - Paul leads a choral summer school in Sumter SC

ideal dates would "fill in the gaps" of the skeleton schedule shown, but before 28 July or after 3 August may also be possible
