Lloyd Webber is putting in a guest appearance

Musicians on Call allows people to nominate a friend, relative or colleague to receive the performance.

For 2006, the scheme has been expanded to offices and other workplaces.

"So many people love music but simply can't get to a concert," said cellist Julian Lloyd Webber, one of the musicians taking part.

The scheme is being run by BBC Radio 3 as part of the Listen Up! Festival of Orchestras.

Experience the excitement

Lloyd Webber said there were a number of reasons people may be unable to travel to concert halls - including health problems, living in a remote area or working evening shifts.

"This is an opportunity for them to experience the excitement and intimacy of a live performance," he added.

The Listen Up! festival 2006 is a collaboration between Radio 3, the Association of British Orchestras and Making Music that runs over five weeks.

It is designed to showcase Britain's professional and amateur orchestras through broadcasts, concerts and educational events.
