Program notes

The moment of truth has arrived at the Seventeenth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition! In Fort Worth, Texas, our six finalists have performed four grueling rounds, culminating in two final concertos alongside Marin Alsop and the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, and the illustrious jury, headed by Paul Lewis, must make their most difficult decision: Who will take home the top prize and follow in Yunchan Lim's footsteps to international stardom?
