This concert commemorates our
founding President, Lady Christine Erskine-Hill, who died earlier this year.
Christine was a pianist and teacher, and it is fitting that Sarah Beth Briggs
returns to Biggar to present this programme. Sarah is popular with promoters
and critics for her performances and for her engaging and informative
introductions to recital programmes. Her professional career was launched at
the age of eleven, when she became the then youngest-ever finalist in the BBC
Young Musician competition. Four years later, she gained international
recognition as joint winner of the international Mozart Competition in
Salzburg.

Join #1 bestselling author and Founder Director of the Women’s Prize, KATE MOSSE to celebrate incredible women from history. 

Atkinson-Pryce Books are delighted to welcome this extraordinary writer to Biggar.
Join us on Monday 10th October at 7.30pm in Biggar Library to hear Kate discuss her latest work. 

About the book 

Warrior Queens & Quiet Revolutionaries brings together Kate’s rich and detailed knowledge of unheard and under-heard women’s history, and of how and why women’s achievements have routinely been omitted from the history books.

This beautiful illustrated book is both an alternative history of the world and a personal memoir about the nature of women’s struggles to be heard, about how history is made and by whom.
