Here’s what Arun had to say about his forthcoming residency with K11 and VOX:
“I am delighted to have been selected to be a Musician in Residence in Wuhan, China, as part of the second edition of the PRSF / British Council scheme. Being a musician in residence will bring wonderful opportunities to create new work with Chinese artists, and perform to Chinese audiences in this vibrant and thriving city. China is a new country for me, and I cannot wait to immerse myself in its art and culture, both contemporary and traditional. It will, I hope, be a tremendously inspiring time, and could lead to some wonderful cross-collaboration and creation.”
