Gerard Cousins is a Welsh guitarist, composer, and arranger who was born in 1974. He studied music at the University of Leeds and the ARTEZ Conservatorium in the Netherlands. Cousins performs and records much of his own music and has expanded the guitar repertoire with arrangements of traditional Welsh music. He often collaborates with contemporary composers, most notably Philip Glass and Eric Whitacre. His recordings include the albums Una Leyenda, A Gift, Hiraeth - Celtic Guitar Music from Wales, and The First Beat is the Last Sound. In 2020, he released the album Escape, which features arrangements of minimalist compositions by Philip Glass.
