‘Mad Rush’ rules! Sally Whitwell in person at the QVB

The impossible to define and prodigiously talented pianist Sally Whitwell has defied all predictions with the success of her cutting edge CD “Mad Rush” – the solo piano works of Philip Glass. (See our  feature and audio of an interview with Sally Whitwell). “Mad Rush” entered the top 5 of the Aria Classical charts and has stayed there for an astonishing 10 weeks, edging out stiff competition from both cross-over and classical performers.

Catch Sally Whitwell playing excerpts from the CD and signing copies of “Mad Rush” at Fish Records in the Queen Victoria Building, George Street, Sydney on Thursday 24th August at 5 pm
