Julian Lloyd Webber

Sharing a surname with a megastar brother could have defined Julian Lloyd Webber entirely, but I admire how thoroughly he carved his own identity with the cello, earning an OBE on his own terms. What moves me most is not the virtuosity but the choice he made later, founding the In Harmony education programme and serving as a conservatoire principal to put instruments into young hands. Stepping back from the spotlight to pass the flame to the next generation is a quieter kind of ambition, and to me it is the more admirable one. He reads as an artist who measured success by what he gave away.

Julian Lloyd Webber (born 14 April 1951) is a British solo cellist, conductor and broadcaster, a former principal of Royal Birmingham Conservatoire and the founder of the In Harmony music education programme.
