At the time, this was the world’s richest piano competition. He entered the competition not believing he could win, but as an excuse to go to Los Angeles to see Frank Zappa, who was very ill, and to seek permission to play his piano music in public. However, Zappa died on the day of the finals and Harvey did not meet him. His manager from Columbia Artists Management was Ronald Wilford, who was Glenn Gould’s manager, and at that stage Ivo Pogorelić’s own manager.
In 1998, he partnered with Bernadette Harvey Balkus, his sister, to form a two-piano group they called Australian Virtuosi.
