Bentley has just announced an exciting new partnership with world-renowned cellist, Tina Guo.
Guo recently composed, performed and produced the launch music for the first luxury hybrid vehicle in the world - the Bentayga Hybrid - and will work closely with Bentley throughout 2018 with a schedule of live performances and guest appearances.
Christophe Georges, Director of Marketing for Bentley, comments: "Tina is an extraordinary talent. Through her compositions and performances on her electric cello, Tina has taken the sound of an acoustic cello - a beautiful luxury instrument hand-crafted from the finest materials - and made it contemporary and modern with the addition of electricity. We have achieved the same feat with the new Bentayga Hybrid, and we are excited to be working with her."
Speaking about the partnership, Guo said: "I’ve always had a passion for cars and Bentley in particular, so to be composing and performing for such an amazing brand is a huge honour for me. Last week I was able to take time during a tour of Switzerland to visit the Geneva Motor Show and see the unveil of the Bentayga Hybrid set to my music. It was such a special moment and I’m very excited for the year ahead with Bentley."
The piece of music composed and performed by Guo reflects the tranquil and refined interior space offered by the Bentayga Hybrid. In pure EV mode, the car makes effortless progress for up to 50 km in silence thanks to the electric drivetrain and provides an oasis of calm in the city and beyond. The Bentayga Hybrid will go on sale later this year as the first step towards a sustainable, electrified future for Bentley.
