Cliburn Kids is on the road right now for Spring Break 2025, visiting parks and libraries and North Texas! Check out this CBS News coverage of Tuesday's program at Klyde Warren Park in Dallas.

The Cliburn prides itself on a history of volunteerism and southern hospitality. None of the programs the Cliburn provides would be possible without the incredible support and commitment of our volunteers. Become part of the outstanding legacy of Cliburn volunteers and help us share great music with the world.

Aristo Sham caught up with Hong Kong's South China Morning Post for an interview, detailing his personal and professional inspirations, life as a musician, and his family's reaction to his win at the Cliburn.

The Cliburn announces a change to the jury for the Seventeenth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, taking place May 21–June 7, 2025, at Van Cliburn Concert Hall at TCU and Bass Performance Hall in Fort Worth, Texas, USA. Austrian pianist Till Fellner will now serve on the Competition jury, a nine-member panel of distinguished pianists charged with selecting each round's advancing competitors and the three medalists of the 2025 Cliburn Competition.

Stephen Montoya of FW Magazine writes, "Van Cliburn was more than just a great pianist—he was a force that transcended genres, borders, and decades, forever changing the way the world experienced music. He was not just a musician; he was a global phenomenon."

The announcement of the 18 quarterfinalists in the 2025 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, held following the conclusion of the Preliminary Round.

Adopt-A-Competitor returns to local libraries this year, inviting you to see two of the 2025 competitors—Vitaly Starikov and Sung Ho Yoo—perform 20 minutes each ahead of the upcoming 2025 Cliburn Competition. Bring your friends and family for this fun culturally inspired program.
