The inimitable Julian and Jiaxin Lloyd Webber will present an exploration of Bach’s cello suites by candlelight.

In this intimate evening Julian narrates the fascinating story behind the composition of Bach’s iconic Cello Suites while introducing performances of the Suites by his wife – and fellow cellist – Jiaxin.

Neglected for almost two hundred years, the Suites finally emerged from obscurity to become some of the most treasured pieces in the classical repertoire. Jiaxin also plays Malcolm Arnold’s Fantasy for Cello which Arnold composed for Julian in 1987.

Bach | Suite No. 1 for Cello in G major, BWV 1007
Bach | Suite No. 2 for Cello in D minor, BWV 1008

Doors open at 7:30pm and the concert begins at 8:00pm. Event finish time is approximate.
