By the age of fourteen William Lloyd Webber was a well-known organ recitalist, giving frequent performances at many important churches and cathedrals throughout Great Britain. He won a scholarship to the Royal College of Music and gained his FRCO diploma at nineteen. William became increasingly drawn to composition and although the Second World War interrupted this development, its ending marked the beginning of his most prolific years as a composer.
This Festival celebrates the life, works and influences of this hitherto neglected musician.
