“We are delighted to continue supporting projects and initiatives which provide high-quality tuition in the arts and heritage, and make an impact in communities across the U.K.,” said Madeleine Lloyd Webber, trustee for the foundation.
Since 2011, the foundation has given $11 million to organizations across Britain with a focus on promoting children’s artistic talents.
Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber is known for blockbuster stage musicals such as “Evita,” “Cats,” “Phantom of the Opera” and “Jesus Christ Superstar.” Madeleine Lloyd Webber is his wife.
