Described by one national newspaper as “an artist of extraordinary magnetism”, Sarah’s professional career was launched at the age of 11 when she became the youngest-ever finalist in the BBC Young Musician of the Year.

Four years later she gained international recognition as joint winner of the International Mozart Competition in Salzburg.

She balances a busy solo career with chamber music engagements and has played with all the major UK orchestras.

Sarah will be playing the likes of Beethoven, Mozart and Chopin in what should be a great evening of top-class classical music.

The concert is at 7.45pm in The Institute at New Lanark. Tickets are available online at www.musicinlanark.co.uk and from Lanark Tariq’s Newsagents, Playful Greetings in Bannatyne Street and at the Gift Shop in New Lanark.
