Book launch: "Nocturne', by Christopher Rush
5 September 2024
George Watson's Music Auditorium, Edinburgh

"In Nocturne, Rush delves deep into the life and soul of Chopin, a man whose profound journey of self-discovery finds its ultimate expression through piano music. This poignant narrative also captures the unwavering devotion of a Scottish woman who stood by him through life and beyond."​
