Their growth demonstrates, first-hand, the truly positive effect that socially-motivated organisations can have on future generations through the power of music-making. Julian Lloyd Webber said: “We have watched The Nucleo Project grow since 2013, and continue to be inspired by the impact it has on the lives of children, young people and communities. Our young musicians are incredible people, and it’s really exciting that with this new national scope for our organisation, we’ll have the opportunity to meet and work with many more amazing kids, and to bring them together with one another to make music and build communities.” A big part of what Nucleo is all about is just showing what young people can do when they have the chance, and on top of all their musical accomplishments, this milestone is also a representation of that. Speaking on the dynamic enhancement of their services, which will be marked by a new visual identity to encapsulate the growing Nucleo community, Lucy Maguire – founder of The Nucleo Project – said: “I am really excited about this next phase of our development, and the whole Nucleo community – our team, our supporters, the families and most of all the kids – should be really proud of having worked together over the last nine years to reach this point. Julian Lloyd Webber, champion for music education and founder of Sistema England, will now join Nucleo as Honorary Patron, and Nina Kaye, Sistema England trustee, will join the board of Nucleo as Interim Chair. Additionally, Sistema England’s other trustees and former executive (including Julian Lloyd Webber, Marshall Marcus and Fiona Cunningham) will continue to support the Nucleo executive team as members of an advisory group. Similarly, Nucleo will continue the work of Sistema England’s instrument donation bank – a service supporting schools, organisations and young musicians around the country by collecting and passing on donated instruments– which to date has put over 2,000 donated instruments into the hands of young musicians who need them. In its new capacity, Nucleo will continue the Young Leaders Programme pioneered by Sistema England, which brings together skilled and committed young musicians from around the country to create a vibrant national orchestra focused on youth leadership, collaborative learning and musical aspiration. Nucleo has worked closely for a number of years with Sistema England, which today passes over its charitable activities to Nucleo after over a decade supporting the national Sistema and music for social action community. In its new form, The Nucleo Project will be known simply as “Nucleo”. Building on almost nine years delivering its free programme for children and young people in West London, the project will extend the benefits offered to its community – and to like-minded young musicians nationwide – as it takes on two pioneering national initiatives, as well as a national leadership role in the field of music for social action, from Sistema England.

He was also the only classical musician chosen to perform at the Closing Ceremony of the London Olympics 2012. He went on to collaborate with a whole host of musicians including Lord Yehudi Menuhin, Lorin Maazel, Elton John and Stephane Grappelli. He won a scholarship at the Royal College of Music and studied in Geneva with renowned cellist, Pierre Fournier. The classical musician has had an eventful musical career. Julian said: ‘This won’t be a cosy ‘evening with Julian Lloyd Webber ’ instead I will be quite forceful about my personal views about what it takes to become a leading musician in today’s world.’ The event will be his first public appearance since his final performance and the neck injury that stopped him from playing the cello. Taking place on 28 July, the cellist will host 'An evening with Julian Lloyd Webber’ and discuss his musical career and the challenges he has faced to get where he is today. Classical composer and conductor Julian Lloyd Webber is to host an educational talk at Birmingham City University.
