E. Power Biggs was born in Essex, England, on March 29, 1906. He studied at the Royal Academy of Music in London. He began to concertize in the United States in 1930, and by 1937 had become an American citizen. By 1960, he was a well-known recitalist, broadcaster, and recording artist with Columbia Studios. In 1958, working with the Dutch organbuilder D.A. Flentrop, he helped to design a three-manual, mechanical-action organ for the Busch-Reisinger Museum at Harvard. E. Power Biggs used this organ widely for concerts and recordings, and its quality added to his fame and reputation. He died in Boston on March 10, 1977.
