Julian Lloyd Webber at The Gaiety tomorrow - 13 September 2012

by isleofman.com 12th September 2012

There are just 24 hours remaining for you to secure your ticket to see “Travels with my Cello” by Julian Lloyd Webber at The Gaiety Theatre tomorrow evening. The event is sponsored by Barclays.

A unique opportunity to spend an intimate evening with one of the world’s most renowned musicians Julian will perform favourite classics, accompanied by Pam Chowhan on piano, including Bach, Faure, Saint Saens and Debussy as well as by his father William and brother Andrew. A must for all music lovers!

Widely regarded as one of the most creative musicians of his generation, Julian Lloyd Webber has collaborated with an extraordinary array of musicians from Yehudi Menuhin, Lorin Maazel, Neville Marriner and Georg Solti to Stephane Grappelli, Elton John and Cleo Laine.

Julian has made many outstanding recordings including his Brit-Award winning Elgar Concerto conducted by Yehudi Menuhin (chosen as the finest ever version by BBC Music Magazine) the Dvorak Concerto with Vaclav Neumann and the Czech Philharmonic, Tchaikovsky's Rococo Variations with the London Symphony under Maxim Shostakovich and a coupling of Britten's Cello Symphony and Walton's Concerto with Sir Neville Marriner and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, which was described by Gramophone magazine as "beyond any rival".

Julian has given more than fifty works their premiere recordings and has inspired new compositions for cello from composers as diverse as Malcolm Arnold and Joaquin Rodrigo to James MacMillan and Philip Glass.

His EMI disc, Unexpected Songs, was released during 2006, and his most recent recording, Phantasia, is based on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera and features violinist, Sarah Chang. This is available on EMI and is the first of several planned recordings that Julian will be making for EMI Classics. Julian Lloyd Webber recently celebrated his 60th birthday in 2011 with music, visuals and talk, in “Travels With My Cello”.

Julian is a passionate supporter of Leyton Orient Football Club and was the first official busker on London’s Underground.
