Julian Lloyd Webber and his wife Jiaxin invite audiences to join them for an afternoon of music, stories and celebration, as Julian returns to Ireland, having just published his candid and widely acclaimed autobiography ‘Bows and Arrows’.
Together, Julian and Jiaxin explore the extraordinary story behind Bach’s sublime ‘Cello Suites’, how Bach influenced their careers as musicians and how these masterpieces lay undiscovered for nearly two hundred years.
Audiences are treated to a richly illustrated musical journey through Julian’s own remarkable career which features over 60 recorded albums including ‘Variations’, ‘Lloyd Webber plays Lloyd Webber’ and his Brit Award winning recording of Elgar’s ‘Cello Concerto’.
Julian was the London Underground’s First Official Busker and the only classical musician chosen to perform at the Closing Ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games.
‘Bach, Bows and Arrows!’ includes live performances from Jiaxin, alongside reflections and video clips from Julian’s own personal archive.
Audiences will have a once in a lifetime chance to question both Lloyd Webbers, as they recall working with musical greats including Elton John, Philip Glass, Yehudi Menuhin, Stéphane Grappelli, Joaquín Rodrigo and Julian's brother Lord Andrew Lloyd-Webber.
