Julian, part of the Lloyd-Webber music dynasty will perform favourite classics by Bach, Faure, Saint Saens and Debussy, as well as pieces from his from his talented family - father William and brother Andrew.
What makes this concert so unique is that it is not only a feast for the ears, but will include conversations with Julian, accompanied by pianist Pam Chowhan, who gives a visual reminiscence on his many collaborations with musicians as diverse as Yehudi Menuhin, Joaquin Rodrigo, jazz greats Cleo Laine and Stephane Grappelli, as well as Elton John and, of course, his brother Andrew.
