	CROWL - ARTISTES
	Dr. Chintamani Rath, Ph.D. (Mus) Prof. Dr. Chintamani Rath, M.Com., Ll.M., Ph.D. (music) is a scholar musician of a rare breed. On the same violin on which he plays Bach or Mozart, he performs, with deceptive ease, the highly formal, complex and millennia old Indian art music. Chintamani captivates, enthralls and mesmerises audiences - musicians and lay listeners alike - with his amazing virtuosity and highly imaginative and improvised artistic wizardry. His concerts, now deeply spiritual and introspective, now sensuous, now fiery, now tender, span a whole gamut of emotions making them never-to-be-forgotten experiences. His professional bookings have taken him to many places in India, Nepal, England, Scotland, Wales, Germany, Australia and New Zealand. Dr Rath now lives in Tauranga, New Zealand from where he runs the GVR Indian Music and Culture Centre, under which banner he teaches, lectures and writes on Indian music, philosophy and culture. (GVR: The late Gopabandhu Vidyabhushan Rath, Dr Rath's grandfather, an outstanding Sanskrit scholar, grammerian, logician, linguist, mathematician, astronomer, astrologer and theologist, in whose name Dr Chintamani Rath started the Centre) Gerard Bull, Dip.CA Diploma commercial art, Art Training Institute 1979/80 Melbourne - Australia Inventor, musician, composer, guitar teacher and artist Born in East Africa, traveled the world a few times, lived in Africa, England, Australia, Pacific Islands and New Zealand Strong belief in enabling musicians to be able to improvise and to also see themselves as artists too Inventor of the Musical Educator Slide Rule for guitar & keyboards Gerard has performed music locally and internationally for over three decades and is in constant demand on acount of the sheer virtuosity, emotivity and wide virsatality of his playing (Classical, Jazz, Blues, Folk, Rock, Irish and many more styles) An improviser of consummate skill As a teacher (both privately and institutionally), Gerard uses his own method involving finger mechanics for both hands which he calls "Aerobics for the Digits", the "Art of Doing" and "Practical Theory" (again his expresions) with great success Gerry strongly believes that being a musician is far more than remaining a mere technician - it is essentially also about being an artist.
