Free Concerts by 2025 Cliburn Competitors
The Cliburn initiated Adopt-A-Competitor in 1997, in collaboration with Fort Worth ISD, to give children a direct link to the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. Competitors volunteered to present concerts to local elementary school students, answer questions, and take pictures. Students then tracked their competitor’s progress throughout the Competition. Since the program’s inception, North Texas kids have met and learned about 66 Cliburn competitors, including five medalists.
This year, the Cliburn returns to the Fort Worth Public Library and launches new partnerships with the Burleson and Euless Public Libraries, providing unique opportunities to experience a preview of the upcoming Cliburn Competition and its artists. Twelve of this competition's pianists will visit local public libraries May 16–18 for free concerts. Hailing from China, Germany, Italy, Israel, Russia, South Korea, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States, these pianists are coming to Fort Worth to play for the North Texas community and fans of the upcoming Competition before they head to the Preliminary Round.
