NEW DATES
ADDED Due to hugely popular demand we have added two more performances on
Monday 25th July.
The Petworth Festival
is delighted to return to
the stylish showrooms
of Sofas & Stuff in
Fittleworth for two hour-long intimate and,
above all, comfortable
concerts, featuring a
notable musical and
domestic partnership,
Julian & Jiaxin Lloyd
Webber.
One of music’s great
communicators, Julian
will open the door to
performances by Jiaxin
of two of the most
frequently performed
compositions ever
written for cello, Bach’s
collection of cello suites
having most likely been
written between 1717 –
1723 when he was Kapellmeister in Köthen.
In addition to his hugely distinguished career as a cellist, Julian is one of the most influential figures in
the classical music firmament. In 2007 he founded the UK Government’s In Harmony programme and
he continues to Chair Sistema England. The two programmes combined have introduced the power
of music to more than sixty thousand school children from the least-privileged parts of the country.
Julian has represented the music sector on BBC1’s Question Time and The Andrew Marr Show, BBC2’s
Newsnight, BBC Radio 4’s Today and many others.
Jiaxin Lloyd Webber graduated from Shanghai Conservatory of Music in 1997. A former principal cello
of the Auckland Chamber Orchestra; founder member of the Aroha String Quartet; and now married
to her world-renowned cellist partner, JIaxin has performed with Julian for BBC Radio 3, Classic FM,
CNN Global TV, and BBC TV. Their joint 2013 recording, A Tale of Two Cellos was the Number One UK classical album for many weeks and is one of the Naxos label’s bestselling recordings of all time
