He founded the government's In Harmony (aka Sistema England) programme and, in 2003 the pressure group Music Education Consortium, that enabled £332m of government money to be ringfenced for music education.

'I would like to use the knowledge I have gained through my life as a musician and an educator to give back as much as I can to the music profession which has given me so much over the years. 'I have no intention of enduring a forced retirement,' said Lloyd Webber. His final two recordings - of Vivaldi Concertos for 2 Cellos with the European Union Chamber Orchestra, and English Music for Strings with the English Chamber Orchestra - will be released later this year.Īlongside his performing commitments, he has given a great deal of time and energy to music education in the UK.

He has premiered over 50 works composers including Philip Glass, Joaquin Rodrigo, Eric Whitacre, Sir Malcolm Arnold and James MacMillan have been written for him.
