Join us for an unforgettable Masterclass with the renowned pianist Sarah Beth Briggs at the Newcastle Piano Festival's Semibreve Saturday programme of events.
In this exclusive masterclass, Sarah Beth Briggs will share her expertise and insights with aspiring pianists and music enthusiasts alike. You will have the opportunity to watch her perform and give personalised feedback on the playing of some advanced pianists.
Pianist Sarah Beth Briggs – an artist of extraordinary magnetism (Michael Kennedy, Daily Telegraph) – is a leading recitalist, concerto soloist, and chamber musician. A long-standing pupil of the late Denis Matthews, she gained a Hindemith Scholarship to study chamber music in Switzerland with celebrated violist, Bruno Giuranna, and remained in Lausanne for further studies with renowned Arrau pupil, Chilean pianist Edith Fischer.
Her professional career was launched at the age of eleven when she became the then youngest-ever finalist in the BBC Young Musician of the Year and a recipient of a Dame Myra Hess Award. Four years later she gained international recognition as joint winner of the International Mozart Competition in Salzburg.
Sarah taught keyboard for many years at the University of York. She gives regular masterclasses and chamber music tuition in the UK and has also taught in Switzerland and the USA.
