ABOUT GWYN:
Gwyneth Herbert is a performer, composer / lyricist and multi-instrumentalist and has been hailed as one the most imaginative and idiosyncratic artists of her generation. She has collaborated with artists, academics, communities, companies, orchestras, pole dancers and puppets to produce a huge canon of interdisciplinary work that seeks to find dialogue with the world. As well as releasing seven critically-acclaimed albums and performing at venues and jazz festivals around the world, she is the co-creator of eight musicals, including the record-breaking productions of “A Christmas Carol” and “The Nutcracker” at Bristol Old Vic (both with writer Tom Morris). Other composition work has involved major commissions from the London Sinfonietta, Mahogany Opera Group, Snape Maltings, and the BFI, and she has this year been nominated to join the 75th edition of the Southbank New Poets' Collective.
