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 audience were enthralled by your playing, Jiaxin, with the context from your commentary, Julian, making it all the more interesting. The second half with you both on stage was even better than I could have expected and almost like a bonus event! The free flow of conversation, with great humour between the two of you combined fascinating and highly entertaining insights into both of your performing careers, solo and jointly and the wider context of the importance of music in education - all delivered with the perfect combination of gravitas and light touch.”

One of our best loved actresses, Juliet Stevenson lets us into the secrets of her craft and tells the story of her glittering career. Famous for her BAFTA nominated role in Truly, Madly, Deeply and her appearances in Bend It Like Beckham, Emma and Mona Lisa Smile, she won an Olivier award for Death and the Maiden and is celebrated as much for her time on stage as for her success on screen.
A veteran of the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre, she was born in Kelvedon, Essex, to Virginia Marshall, a teacher, and Michael Guy Stevenson, an army officer. After a peripatetic childhood spent in England and beyond, Juliet studied at RADA. Along with her great, late friend, Alan Rickman, Fiona Shaw, Kenneth Branagh and Imelda Staunton, among others, she was part of the 'new wave' of actors to emerge from the Academy. She has received multiple BAFTA and Olivier nominations and continues to bestride the stage and screen. In recent years, Happy Days and The Doctor, which moves to America this summer, have secured Juliet’s status as one of Britain’s finest actresses.
