A Homecoming
Over the Cliburn’s 60-year history, some of the most renowned and beloved classical music artists in the world have grown to love Fort Worth as a home away from home. From competitors to prolific composers to world-class touring performers across instruments, they make up an extraordinary, supportive, and dynamic network that is lovingly referred to as the Cliburn Family. This concert season, we bring back a collection of these artists, in a joyful celebration of the people, projects, and programs that have helped define the Cliburn’s spirit and impact.
Eleven invigorating, singular evenings await you—stunning traditional recitals at the Kimbell and enchanting casual concerts at The Post and TX Whiskey Ranch. Medalists, jurors, and webcast hosts from the 2001 to 2025 Competitions (and one of their daughters!); composers who have been commissioned for and featured on Cliburn programs; and some of our perennial concert series favorites.
It will be a Homecoming to remember. Get your tickets now!
