We’ll have an opportunity to catch this phenomenal show on not one but two occasions – on February 22 at The Stables in Wavendon and again on March 5 at Dunstable’s Grove Theatre.

A member of one of the most influential musical dynasties of modern times, he will also recount stories and anecdotes of touring, recording sessions, concerts and TV shows to link with rare video footage of him talking to and performing alongside showbiz luminaries such as Nigel Kennedy, Elton John, Katherine Jenkins, Tim Rice, Yehudi Menuhin, Joaquin Rodrigo, Cleo Laine, Stephane Grappelli and many others.

The concert features works including Faure’s Elegy, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Music of the Night and Rachmaninov’s Cello Sonata as well as that of composers William Lloyd Webber, Frank Bridge, Bach and Philip Glass.
