Bach Explored - Lloyd Webbers Revealed!
World renowned musicians Julian and Jiaxin Lloyd Webber take their audience on a unique ‘double-sided’ journey of live music and ‘behind the scenes’ stories about their lives in the most influential musical dynasty of modern times.
With a first half that explores the extraordinary reasons why Bach’s sublime Cello Suites remained unperformed for two hundred years before taking their place amongst the most loved pieces of classical music.
The second half sees Julian embark on a magical musical tour through his amazing career along with a rare chance to quiz both Lloyd Webbers about playing with such musical icons as Elton John, Yehudi Menuhin, Katherine Jenkins, Tim Rice, Joaquin Rodrigo, Cleo Laine, Stephane Grappelli and, of course, his brother Andrew Lloyd Webber. Not to be missed!
'I can’t think of anything that could have been a better launch for the Hurlingham Festival. It was a true treat for the intellect as well as for the senses and the two hours flew by. The combination of live performance, videos, commentary worked exceptionally well. I’m very confident it will have been one of the best attended events of the Festival.' The Capitol, Horseham
