Julian, who plays the ‘Barjansky' Stradivarius cello (c. 1690), will be performing a programme which includes Bach's Adagio in G, Bridge's Scherzetto, Britten's Scherzo Pizzicato, Faure's Elegie, Delius's Sonata (1915) Rachmaninov's Sonata in G Minor, op 19 and William Lloyd Webber's Nocturne.

 

Now leading England's In Harmony programme, 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 to Elton John and Stephane Grappelli.

 

As leader of In Harmony, the British Government's new music programme, Julian is working to promote personal and community development in some of England's most deprived areas, through orchestral-based learning and musical experiences.

 

Julian 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.

 

The performance starts at 8pm and tickets are from £20 to £24, with concessions available, plus a £1 Theatre Fund payment. As part of Hall for Cornwall's ‘No Strings Attached' programme, those under 25 years old can purchase tickets for just £6 each.
