Not every composer is lucky enough to be able to work at it full time, and most of us fit other things in as well; Paul Barnes was Professor of Physics and Chemistry at the University of London.
Essentially self taught, he is launching a major new work on Sunday 15 October, his string quartet Layers of Life. The work will be performed by the Billroth Quartet at Platform in Islington, the former Hornsey Road Baths.
Further information from the composer's website.
