PIANIST Sarah Beth Briggs performs next Wednesday's (February 18, 1pm) Kendal Midday Concert Club recital at Kendal Town Hall.

Sarah first came to prominence as (at the time) the youngest-ever (11 years old) finalist in the BBC Young Musician of the Year. Later, she was joint winner of the International Mozart Competition in Salzburg. Now, familiar to worldwide audiences, she's regarded as a pianist of extraordinary magnetism.
