The Gentle Good
In October 2011 Gareth Bonello
travelled to the city of Chengdu, China to take up a 6 week artistic residency
with the Chengdu Associated Theatre of Performing Arts. The residency was part
of the ‘Musicians in Residence - China’ project organised by The British
Council and PRSF. Gareth used the opportunity to explore Chinese folk music and
literature and to collaborate with local traditional musicians. Upon his
return to the UK Gareth continued to work on the project collaborating with
composer Seb Goldfinch, The Mavron String Quartet, and members of the UK
Chinese Ensemble to record Y Bardd Anfarwol. The album tells the life story of
the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai and brings together elements of Welsh and Chinese
folk music.
