“An artist of extraordinary magnetism” (Daily Telegraph), Yorkshire pianist Sarah Beth Briggs has enjoyed a distinguished career both on stage and in the recording studio. She returns to the Playhouse for an afternoon of glittering piano favourites.
Among the highlights are works by R Schumann and Beethoven: Schumann’s evocative Forest Scenes conjures a mysterious and haunting symbolic world, populated by hunters, lonely flowers and a watchful, prophetic bird; while Beethoven wrote of his lively Bagatelles that these were "quite the best pieces of their kind that I have written".
