Julian Lloyd Webber enjoys one of the most creative careers in music today. As a solo cellist he has performed with many of the world鈥檚 greatest orchestras and conductors including the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra and every leading symphony and chamber orchestra in the UK in partnership with such conductors as Sir Georg Solti, Lorin Maazel, Lord Yehudi Menuhin, Sir Neville Marriner, Yevgeny Svetlanov, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Sir Mark Elder and Sir Andrew Davis. He has also collaborated with a wide range of legendary musicians from pianists Sir Clifford Curzon and Murray Perahia to jazz artists Stephane Grappelli and Dame Cleo Laine and rock musician Sir Elton John.

Julian鈥檚 many recordings include his BRIT Award-winning Elgar Cello Concerto conducted by Yehudi Menuhin 鈥� chosen as the 鈥榝inest ever version鈥� by BBC Music Magazine, the Dvo艡谩k Cello Concerto with Vaclav Neumann and the Czech Philharmonic, Tchaikovsky鈥檚 Rococo Variations with the London Symphony Orchestra under Maxim Shostakovich, a coupling of Britten鈥檚 Cello Symphony and Walton鈥檚 Cello Concerto with Sir Neville Marriner and the Academy of St Martin-in-the-Fields which was described as 鈥榖eyond any rival鈥� in Gramophone magazine and 鈥榁补谤颈补迟颈辞苍蝉鈥�, famous as the theme to ITV鈥檚 long running South Bank Show. Julian has also inspired more than fifty new works for cello from composers as varied as Malcolm Arnold, Joaqu铆n Rodrigo, Andrew Lloyd Webber, James MacMillan, Philip Glass and Eric Whitacre.

In 2007, at the invitation of the Secretary of State for Education, Julian founded the UK Government鈥檚 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 England. Julian was made a Fellow of the Royal College of Music in 1994 and is the recipient of a Crystal Award from the World Economic Forum (1998) the Classic FM Red Award (2005) and the Incorporated Society of Musicians鈥� Distinguished Musician of the Year Award (2014). Julian has represented the music education sector on BBC1鈥檚 Question Time and The Andrew Marr Show, BBC2鈥檚 Newsnight and BBC Radio 4鈥檚 Today, The World at One, PM, Front Row, and The World Tonight.

In 2014 Julian was forced to retire from playing the cello due to a neck injury which reduced the power of his bowing arm. In July 2015 he was appointed principal of 探花直播 Conservatoire. During his five-year tenure he oversaw the move to a new 拢57 million building and the merging of the existing Conservatoire with the 探花直播 School of Acting. In September 2017 the Conservatoire was awarded the Royal status by Her Majesty the Queen.

Julian is married to fellow cellist Jiaxin Cheng. A lifelong Leyton Orient supporter, he was the London Underground鈥檚 first official busker and the only classical musician to perform at the Closing Ceremony of Olympics 2012.
