Monday 29 September 7.30pm
Julian Lloyd Webber
As patron of Hereford Concert Society Julian has very kindly agreed to give his services free for this recital in order to raise much-needed funds for both HCS and The Courtyard for which both of our organisations are extremely grateful.
Widely regarded as one of the most creative musicians of his generation, Julian Lloyd Webber won a scholarship to the Royal College of Music when he was sixteen and completed his studies in Geneva with the renowned French cellist, Pierre Fournier.
Since then he has collaborated with an extraordinary
array of musicians from Yehudi Menuhin, Lorin Maazel, Esa-Pekka Salonen and Georg Solti.
He has made many outstanding recordings including his Brit-Award winning Elgar Concerto conducted by Yehudi Menuhin and has premiered more than fifty new works for cello and has inspired new compositions from composers as diverse as Malcolm Arnold and Joaquin Rodrigo to James MacMillan and Philip Glass. Julian's most recent recordings include Phantasia , based on Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera.
Julian was presented with the Crystal Award at the World Economic Forum in 1998 and the Classic FM Red Award for outstanding services to music in 2005. He has received honorary doctorates from both the University of Hull and Thames Valley University and was made a Fellow of the Royal College of Music in 1994.
Julian Lloyd Webber plays the 'Barjansky' Stradivarius cello of c. 1690 and tonight he joins us in a joint promotion with The Courtyard for an evening of classical music.
