Live Music in Fort Worth has changed a bit since February, but our city has risen to the occasion. The Cliburn 

The Cliburn announces the line-up for the summer season of Cliburn at Home, featuring weekly episodes of two series: Cliburn Watch Party, where people around the world join together online with their favorite artists to enjoy past Cliburn performances; and Cliburn Kids, which brings fun musical breaks to kids, their parents, and anyone who loves music and learning.

“We’re pleased to continue these two engaging series this summer, after a successful inaugural spring season that resulted in 25,000 hours of music watched across 100 countries,” said Cliburn President and CEO Jacques Marquis. And we’re making plans now for the fall to spotlight the 2021 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, as we gear up for our signature program to take place in May and June of next year.”

All episodes of Cliburn Watch Party and Cliburn Kids premiere at the listed day and times on Cliburn Facebook and YouTube channels. They are then available for on-demand viewing on those channels, as well as on IGTV and Cliburn.org/cliburn-at-home. The entire spring Cliburn at Home season can be viewed on all of these channels.

NEW! The Cliburn now has text-to-give capabilities. People enjoying Cliburn at Home programs can donate to the Cliburn by texting CAH2020 to 44-321.

About The Cliburn

The Cliburn advances classical piano music throughout the world. Its international competitions, education programs, and concert series embody an enduring commitment to artistic excellence and the discovery of new artists. Established in Fort Worth, Texas, in 1962, the quadrennial Van Cliburn International Piano Competition (sixteenth edition, May 27–June 12, 2021) remains the most visible expression of that mission and is, as always, committed to its original ideals of supporting and launching the careers of emerging artists, ages 18–30. It shares the transformative powers of music with a wide global audience, through fully-produced webcasts and by providing comprehensive career management and concert bookings to its winners. Rounding out its mission, the Cliburn also produces the Cliburn International Junior Piano Competition and Festival for exceptional 13- to 17-year-old pianists (third edition, May–June 2023), and the Cliburn International Amateur Piano Competition for outstanding non-professional pianists age 35 and older (eighth edition, rescheduled to spring 2022).

Over a four-year cycle, the Cliburn contributes to North Texas’ cultural landscape with over 170 classical music performances for 150,000 attendees through competitions, free community concerts, and its signature Cliburn Concerts series at Bass Performance Hall, the Kimbell Art Museum Piano Pavilion, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, and Scat Jazz Lounge. It presents 1,000 Cliburn in the Classroom in-school, interactive music education programs for more than 200,000 area elementary students. During the same time period, it garners the world’s attention with over eight million visits from 170 nations for live concert and competition webcasts; 300 concerts worldwide booked for competition winners; more than 5,000 news articles about the Cliburn and its winners; and regular national radio broadcasts to 245 public radio stations.
