FORTWORTH _ COLORFULPASTAND EXCITING FUTURE

tr

I ort Worth boas t s a unique dual nature, one that gives it a true sense of "Cowboys and Culture." It's an interesting road that led this major American city from its dusty beginning as a military encampment to a cosmopolitan cultural and business center-a storied heritage that is celebrated in many ways throughout the year.

FortWorth Worth circa circa 1853, population 10.

It beganin 1849 as a U.S.frontier fort established to protect settlers lrom Indian attacks. The lort lasted only until 1853, when new forts came to the west. As soon as the soldiers departed on their way to new posts, settlers began to use the buildings for stores, a tavern, and living quarters.

The crude fort structures eventually disappeared,as the area became the center of commerceand the location of the courthouse.Over the yearsthat followed, the economy and personality of the community developed around what might seem to be contradictions between cowboys, culture, and big business.

The associationwith the Old West and cowboys came early in the city's existence.Alter the Civil War, Texas'sonly resource that brought much-needed

cash was the millions of longhorn cattle that grazed all over the state.

However, the cattle had to be driven to markets hundreds of miles north to new railheads in Kansas. Fort Worth's lot a t i o n m a d e i t t h e l a s t m a j o r t o r . rn i n Texas on what became perhaps the most famous cattle trail in historythe Chisholm Trail. Cowboys herded the longhorns right through what is

fort and the millions that followed over the years have cherished culture in many forrns. In 1883, Fort Worth gained its first "opera house," and in 1890 Henry and Phil Greenwall took over its operation. The Greenwall brothersdid the bookingsfor a national network of 300 theatersacrossthe country, which was rather arnazing in this early era of primitive roads and communication.The GreenwallOpera Housewas the centeroI entertainment and culture in Fort Worth. In 1908, a second tl-reater, the Byers Opera House, came into existence,and was also managedby the Greenwalls.The performing arts business in Fort W orth w as qui te act ive. alt r act ing national touring performers and groups,as well as providing opportunities lor local and regional performers.

The heyday of live theater in Fort Wortir coincided with the great oil era that occurred throughout Texas.

Major oil strikesin the early 1900sin the surrounding cities of Ranger, Desder-nona,and Burkburnett made Fort Worth the centerof a booming oil business,and in turn, the center of urban activity. It was during this era now downtown's Commerce Street that the most famous performer of the (then Rusk Street)-immediately to day came to Fort Worth: tenor Enrico the west of the Nancy Lee and Perry R.

The Will Rogers Memorial Center came into existence in 1936 at the time of the celebration of Texas'sfirst 100 years.After World War II, the area surrounding the center gradually emerged as a special cultural district.

Museums began to locate nearby.

During the decadesfollowing the war, the Children's Museum (which eventually became the Fort Worth Museum of Scienceand History), the Amon Carter Museum, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, and the Kimbell Art Museum all located in this area. By the 1980s, the entire region and the nearby botanic garden gained recognition as special cultural treasures.Major new construction is underway to expand the Amon Carter Museum and build a new home for the Modern Art Museum and a museum honoring the women of the West: the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame.

VAN CLIBURN INTERNATIONALPIANO COMPETITION HISTORY A A m er ic as c o n c e rnw i th " n o t l a l l i n g behind" during the Cold War had its musical redemption in a lanky pianist from Kilgore, Texas. Van Cliburn's first-prize performance at the inaugural International Tchaikovsky Competition in 1958 sent the nation into a gleeful victory celebration that culminated in the first, and only, Manhattan ticker-tape parade for a classicalartist. lt also opened the door to a new era of musical and cultural relations that helped dissolve the old barriers between East and West.

Where diplomacy had failed, art would gradually transcend both national boundaries and political ideologies. One of the first steps towards that goal was taken in Fort Worth, Texas.

On a November evening in 1958, sometime between the entr6e and the dessertcourse,Dr. Irl Allison, founder of the National Guild of Piano Teachers,passeda note to GraceWard Lankford, the co-founder of the Fort Worth Piano TeachersForum. "Hold onto your seat," it read, "I have a startling announcement!" Standingbefore a crowd of 500, including pianist Van Cliburn and his mother, Rildia Bee O'Bryan Cliburn, Dr. Allison announced his intention to offer a $10,000 first prize to be awarded by a n i nternati onal pi ano competi ti on named in Cliburn's honor. The idea caught virtually everyone (especially Van Cliburn) by surprise, and immed i a tel yfi red the ci vi c i magi nati on.

Competition, all six finalists were awarded cash prizes ranging from $500 to $f0,000. Yer rhe Cliburn Competition has always aspired to give these artists far more than a check and a medal-it was designed to help Iaunch careers. The winner of the First Competition was awarded just eight appearances, including a debut at Carnegie Hall. Todays medalists and finalists are awarded two full years of management concert se r vi ce s. enabling them to perform in hundreds of venues both here and abroad, sharing their talents with the widest possible audience.

The creation of opportunities for promising young professionals to be heard by audiencesaround the world begins with the competition's meticulous screeningprocess.In the earliest competitions, the screeningsessentially took place during the first phase of the preliminaries. This explains why 73 pianists participated in r-he 1977 Cliburn Competition, as opposed to 30 pianistsin 2001. From the 1980sto 1993, potenti al compet it or s auditioned via videotape.Although videotapes under special circumstancesare accepted lrom applicants today, the foundation believes that seeing and hearing pianists in person remains the best way to evaluate candidates who exhibit the musical and personal qualities desired in a winner. For the EleventhCompetition, 137 applicants were invited to participate in the screeni ng reci tal s i n seven cit ies throughout the world.

The following summary, culled f r om t heir re s p o n s e s .c o n l i n u e s to support our belief that ranking needs to be attenuated,that only rarely does one pianist emerge head and shoulders above all the others, and that the group that surfaces at the end of a competition represents the collective and subjective preferenceof the jury during a specificpoint in time without an implicit suggestion of one finalist being "better" than another. A close examination of the depth and diversity of accomplishmentsachievedby the majority of our past winners helps to expand our traditional definition of successas it applies to forging a career in music.

The legendary Sigismond Thalberg, celebratedfor his pianistic duel with Liszt, went off to become a successful vintner. Vladimir Ashkenazy, James Levine, Daniel Barenboim, and Christoph Eschenbachhave all primarily becomeconductors.Most pianists will adrnit that maintaining an active performing career is extremely tiring, demanding, and stressful-involving hours of dai l y practi ce.m em or izat ion, travel, being away from family and friends, and new hotel rooms night after night. Many find that other values supersedethe rewards of applause and fame.

Severalof our winners have developed impressive ancillary careers that, in many cases, have become their primary focus of activity. The foundation has provided universities and conservatories around the world with distinguished teachers and artists-in-residence, including Jos6 Feghali, Yakov Kasman, Valery Kuieshov, Benedetto Lupo, Nikolai PetroH Santiago Rodriguez, and Mikhail Voskresensk;r Among several noted pianists who have added conducting to their list of accomplishments are Cliburn laureates Barry Douglas, Ian Hobson, Jeffrey Kahane, and Christian Zachartas. Meanwhile, Fabio Bidini, Andre-Michel Schub, and HansChristian Wille are among those who devote time and energyto administrating music festivals and other arts events. As host of the nationally distributed public radio program From the Top, Christopher O'Riley seeks to develop a new generationof musicians and listeners.

The total number of performances, recordings, teaching hours, and other activities involving Ciiburn laureates is immeasurable. We are justifiably proud of each of their extraordinary achievements,as well as their continued collective contribution to music, in the secondhalt of the 20th centurv and beyond.

THE SUBJECTIVITY OF RANKING The most misunderstoodfunction of a competition is ranking. Although it may rankle some, a competition must rank competitors in order to be regardedas a competition.

In some respects,we may view a competition as a processof removal, much the same way Michelangelo would look at a block of marble and remove piecesof it in order to liberate the figure contained within. A group of highIy experiencedprofessionalmusicians is at first given the task of discovering, within a large block of pianists, those who appear to be deeply musical, an attribute measurable by relatively objectivecriteria. Thesewell-regarded musicians who serve as jurors are indeed qualified to express expert opinion much the sameway a surgeon is qualified, as a result of his medical training, to perform a delicatesurgical procedure.

ics alike-can bear in mind that each juror is merely expressinghis or her preference for certain performances heard during a two-week period.

Although there are many reasons for ranking, the Van Cliburn Foundation has a very pragmatic reason to view ranking as a responsibility.In managing the careersof its winners for two years following each competition, it must be able to convey to a presenter who is willing to hire a gifted young artist what the result was of polling their professional colleagues on the jury concerning their preferences.ln order to exhibit the highest relevance within lhe music industry,to maintain the highest level ofintegrity, and never to lose the broad perspective with which competitions must be viewed, it is critical that competitions be conducted in such a manner as not to be perceivedas some sort of entertaining spectacleor sporting event, ballyhooing a single winner to be eagerlyconsumed and exploited often by even well-meaning audiences, presenters, and media.

Once the objective questions have been addressed,however, no one person remains more qualified than another to expressa subjective opinion, be he a professional musician, a music critic, or a member of the lis- The Van Cliburn Foundation has tening audience.No intelligent person devoted an enormous amount of carewould dare pronounce Bach a "better" ful thought to ranking, and in consulcomposer than Beethoven, or tation with many of the leading proRubinstein a "better" pianist than fessionalsin the world of music, has Horowirz. HOWEVER, anyone has significantlychangedits voting system every right to say that they prefer to reflect most accurately the sentiBach to Beethoven, or Rubinstein to ment of the jury.

It is valid for the one another but different from one jury to have the right to expressa col- a nother,the smal l vari ancesi n poi nts lective preference as manifested by assignedto them may be statistically some form of ranking, as long as i n si gni [i cant. or to usean engi neeri ng everyone-the jury, the performers, l e rm. may refl ect " uncertai nty oI the audience, the presenters,and crit- measurement." For example, if one

competitor receives98.1 points, and the next competitor down receives98 points, and it is determined that anything within 2 points is considered to be an insignificant difference, then, assigning only one gold medal ,to the competitor who leads by l/10tn of a point would be an arbitrary mathematical gesture that may contradict the intent of the jury and be a function that ought not to be entrusted to the foundati onor l o i ts ad m inist r at ion.

Hence, recognizing the importance of expressingmore accuratelyto the musicians and to the public the collective opinion of the jury the Van Cliburn Intemational Piano Competition will offer its top winners three medals in any combination of gold, silver,and bronze that most correctly reflects the final vote. The three prizewinners will receive equal cash awards and career management from the Cliburn Foundation.

We hope that the voting system will help dispel the notion of "the best" which, in the arts, is a spurious concepr. More importantly, it will help promote more than one artist of relatively equal merit, affording each member of the jury the leeway to be more inclusive and reward a wider spectrum of artistry. A juror might feel compelled to favor only one kind of artist if told to choose only one gold medalist. Given the option to consider of equal value an outstanding interpreter of Rachmaninofl and Tchaikovsky and another outstanding interpreter of Mozart and Beethoven, the juror will be liberated to express his or her true opinion rather than be forced artificially into making a nonmusical selection.

And this is the very heart of the matter. What emanates from the Van Cliburn Foundation must be solely a statement of musical preference, unfettered by any form of artifice.

Although our ties are long and close with Texas Christian University and with all the dedicated volunteers in Fort Worth, we must never take their extraordinary generosity for granted.

Ending the last four days of the screening recitals at Ed Landreth Auditorium, the site of past Cliburn Competitions, felt, in more ways than one, truly like coming home again.

stood in the context of community.

The unstatedreasonfor com pet it ionis that both the artist and the community are to be strengthened in their mutual affection. The recent emphasis on finding competitors from different cultures and the willingness to hear different musics that go beyond the accepted classical canon bring the competition and the audience into a new level of appreciation and understanding of the artist's project. In this sense,competitions must not be ends in themselves,just as they cannot be only for the important, but limited, purpose of judging competitors and awarding winners.

From the community's point of view, as w el l as l hat o[ the ar t ist . com pet itions are meant to create surprising bonds. When members of an audience listen to the performance, say, of the Rachmaninoff second concerto, they are not only relating to the composer and the performers through sound.

They are relating to one another, joined as they are by the language of music; a language that fuses our otherwise indecipherable or unexpressed feelings with our rational faculties.

E venw hen one Ii stenst o a pianiston a CD in the privacy of one'sresidence, an unseen audience is present that identifies the performer and the listener to other unknown listeners. This "invisible" connection is there-made through music.

It is well to unravel the string of complex relationships engendered by music in our time. There is that of the composer to an interpreter, musical traditions of the past challenged by new traditions and new interpretations. There are the piano makers, the tuners, the engineers,and the impresarios who are part of the social system which allows and encourages music to be created.I might go a step further. The music we hear, the pianist we praise, the composition she plays, is at the center of what makes us human and humane.

THE MI RR O RO F R E S P O N S IBIL IT Y WEEN BET PIANISTAND COM M U N ITY Where this fundamental understanding is not sufficiently credited, competitions may have a long-term deleterious effect on the artist and the community. If competitions are judged so l e l yas a m eansof o b ta i n i n gc o n c e rl dates for winners, such competitions are parochial in their purpose and ultimately may be alienating for both the pianist and the community at large.

The situation will be further aggravated where competitors who did not finish "in the money" are dumped onto the ash heap of musical and community history. Artists may internalize the idea that if they don't win, there is no place for them in the arts. Such competitions have a "Queen [or a Day" tingle to them, where the winner is treatedroyally for a few months and then even he or she is slapped in the face by governmental and corporate attitudes which are more interestedin celebrity and the bottom line than in understanding the central importance of music and skill in the arts for the society as a whole. Our present systems of public accountingare not conditioned to factor in the social costs to education and the society at large when the natural human instinct for music and the capacity for its performance are not given sufficient time, funds, and energy. Paradoxically,the character and level of support for the sciencesare far greater.

of wonder and the imaginativeinto a substanceas real as the chair I am sitting on or the invisible God believers worship. To the attentive listener, music negotiates an inexplicable moment of self-awareness.For some, the experience can come from the shock of a Prokofiev concerto that sears and lurks in a tempestuous world. The messagemay be the modern ambiguousone. It is easy to see why some believe Prokofiev's music tells us of a world that must be moved or transformed. The music may be cacophonous to our untrained ears, but it cannot be forgotten. An epiphany is created for the listener, but what to do with our newfound understanding remains mysterious.

In the caseof Fort Worth, it is not only through hospitality and social events that the city and its citizenry show gratitude in the immediate period surrounding the competition. Pianists are pre-auditioned by the Cliburn Foundation. And in preparation for the festival, thousands of volunteers work together for the successof the competition becausethey believe that the pianists are presenting them with keys to their "home" of music with its wonders and passions,technical chalIenges, and ferocity. In other words, the community that takes pride in itself and in its culture embracesthe musicians for their philanthropy becausethey grant us the gift of disThere are moments when three or four covery and joy derived from music. notes. as in Beethoven Thus, when the community and the the "Appassionata" sonata, are forever musician mesh, a mutual admiration imprinted in our minds.

Audiencesmust be prepared to suspend their distance so that the pianist, indeed, the musician, can be heard and appreciated.

Such a program might reserve a few minutes for discussionand analysisof a piano work. The purpose of such a televisionprogram is not to make coneerl pi ani stsout of the viewer s. . just as SesameStreetcannot supplant school.

Its goal is the creation of appreciative audiences by making them aware of the rudiments of piano playing, perhaps even of some score reading.

Artists and others who are part of the music world must be prepared to embracethe media and reach out to people beyond the concert hall. By so doing, over a period of time popular culture will overcomeits commercial tendency to favor the canned mediocre. Instead, popular culture may be more likely to be part of an acti ve and appreci at ive audience, where part of the audience may even perform for themselves,for their families, and for their neighbors.But to do so, pianistsrequire an educatedaudience.Someof this has occurredin limited ways. Imagine Pollini giving concerts for workers, or imagine the formidable Friedrich Gulda mastering jazz and not being embarrassedto play it as well as the last Beethovensonatas.

For that matter, imagine Gould making lilms and recordings as a way to enrich Canada and the rest o[ the world. These artists, and more like them, broke the class,age, and racial divide through their work. But for this next period.a concertedeffort rnustbe

1997GOLD MEDALIST a ION NAKAMATSU As participants in music competitions, we often focus so acutely on a projected outcome that we neglect io reap the benefits of the processitself. In its ideal state, such a competitive processwould reward all participants-not just the winners-in various aspectsof careerdevelopment,personal growth, and general contentment. It would provide a forum for discussionand debate,for educational opportunity and new discovery,and, most significantly,for the continual promotion of the arts. It would recognize and respect individuality and diversity and put faces on those who might so easily become numbers. The processwould provide opportunity for everyone.

Such is the unique experienceat the Van Cliburn Competition. As a participant, you encounter these extraordinary circumstancesfrom your first day in Fort Worth. You will meet your host family, who will become your biggestlans, supporters, and, in many cases,lifelong friends. The competition staff and administration will welcome you and go to any lengths to make your experiencea memorable one. You will meet your fellow competitors and discover that differences do not often divide as deeply as perceived. An unparalleled exposure to the international media, presenters,and industry leaders will forge relationships long before the final notes are played. And of course, the Fort Worth audiences will applaud and encourageyou as no other audiencean).r,vhere.

S.

={ After the competition, a whirlwind of travel and performances awaits a few, while others use their experienceshere as springboards to great successelsewhere. Participantsare often engagedin a variety of capacitiesregardlessof their ultimate standing and establishsignificant contactsthat reach far into the future.

You will not find a more promising array of opportunity an)'where.It is now up to you to seizethe possibilitiesand make the most of your time at the Cliburn.

Your presencehere alreadydemonstratesthat you have achievedmuch and possessthe potential to grow and persevere.Play well, be open to new experiences and relationships,take some time for yourself, and, most importantly, enjoy the adventure.

Congratulationsand warmest wishes to you all-

1997BRONZEMEDALIST # AVIRAM REICHERT Dear Competitors, Welcome to the Cliburn family!

Four yearsago, I was sitting at the openinggala ceremonyreadingthe greeting statementsof previous winners in the 1997 competition program book. Already a veteran in the international competition arena, it was the first time that I encountered the phrase "the Cliburn family." Naturally, I was doubtful. The competition world, as I knew it, was far from a family-like atmosphere.

It didn't take long to discover the true uniquenessof this event. Long before the finals, I realized that although it was my first visit to the USA, it would not be the last-regardless of my progressin the competition. Surrounded by newly acquired friends from the community, competition staff members, and even players from the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra,the competition's grueling scheduleactuallyseemedpleasant.

Above all it was my host family, the Reynolds,who did everything possible to make me feel at home in this place and culture so far from my own. Their dedication to my successand well-being far exceededmy wildest expectationsof that famous Texaswelcome. That strong connection still continues to support me through all the twists and turns of that wild ride called "a concert artist's career."

a

p-.1

Someof you will achievegreaterresults at the keyboard than others at this competition; it is the very essenceof this event. But, you will all benefit from being a oart of this familv. as I did.

Good luck!

And mu si c . whic h c om e s i n s o ma n y dialects and cultures, which moves through us with its strange,specialair, is the language of emotion. Author Michael Crichton once said that taking the time and applying the discipline to write was the best way he knew to really connect with life's experiences. In precisely the same way, studying music is an infinitely rewarding way to map human emotions.

Godowsky knew Einstein loved music, so he arranged to leave his pianos in Einstein's rooms, ready for the professor when he arrived. (Note to Ritz Carlton: I wish somebodywould leave me a piano in my next hotel room.

Thank you.) But the two didn't meet until over a decadelater. and then thev becameclose friends.

SUCH S T U F FT H A T D R E AM S ARE M ADE ON The International Piano Competition for Outstanding Amateurs

tr l- or t hos e o [ u s w h o h a d o n c e c o n sidered careers as classical pianists before reluctantly deciding on a different path, the first Van Cliburn International Piano Competition for Outstanding Amateurs (IPCOA) in June 1999provideda briefbut gratifying glimpse down the road we had passed by.

Oddly, I remember very little of my own performance. I felt more like a conductor than a pianist, making expressivegesturesand reveling in the resulting sounds of Ginastera and Ravel. It was over too quickly, there was thunderous applause, and I left the stagein a euphoric daze.When the l8 semifinalistswere announced that evening, I was thrilled to hear my The requirements were straightfor- name called out.

Acceptance was based on musical training, performing experience,and repertoire.Ninety-two of us eventually arrived in Fort Worth, along with battalions of farnily members and friends. Given the large number of contestants, the preliminary round was spread over three days. I stapled m y s ell t o on e o l th c p ra c ti c ep i a n o s until my turn finally rolled around on the third day.

Both Benedini and Loilier made the linal group of six pianists, along with Joel Holoubek, whose stunning, colorful reading of the Dutilleux Sonatamade him a lock for the top prize unless he failed to show up for the finals.

Then there was Don Shaw,an interior designer from Manhatlan, who was nearing the end of a Mozart sonata performanceworthy of Edwin Fischer when he had a memory lapse and stopped dead for 30 seconds.The sort of unfortunate disaster one might expect from a part-time pianist?Sure.

The sort of musicianship and beauty that make such mundane catastrophes seem relatively unimportant? That IOO .

The finals the following day was largely unsurprising. Holoubek deservedly won the Jury Award and PressJury Award (there were no second-or thirdplace prizes). French physician Alexandre Bodak won the Audience Award; his take-no-prisonersProkofiev evoked a visceral response from the audience.

(I can hear the professionalslaughing at the seemingly tiny amount of repertoire required, but for those of us with full-time nonmusicaljobs, an hour of music is quite a hefty bundle of notes.) The preliminary round was lengthenedto l2 minutes-a little extra breathing roomand applicants had to submit a 15minute audition tape. Only 75 pianists were acceptedthis time.

My own playing had taken a substantial leap forward during the preceding year, thanks to the remarkable Phillip Kawin, a teacher at the Manhattan School of Music. Phillip treated me with the same care as he treated his students who were budding professionals, occasionally (and endearingly) seeming to forget that music wasn't my career. He would recommend a lengthy out-of-town piano festival, then sigh and say, "This would be a great experiencefor you, but I do realize you have a job."

Mr. Jiracek demonstrated the differences between the classical and romantic periods for the children by performing the music of various composers from those eras. The Musical Awahenings program culminated in two free family concerts,performed by Mr. Jiracek and held in Fort Worth and Euless. Musical Awakenings was generously underwritten by the Arts Council of Fort Worth and Tarrant County, the American Express Foundation, the Arts Council of NorthEast Tarrant County, Mrs. Gunhild Corbett,Wells Fargo,Steinway Hall - Dallas, the City of Fort Worth, and the TexasCommission on the Arts.

As the Cliburn Competition has grown, Steinway & Sons has expanded its role. As this relationship enters its fifth decade, Steinway & Sons has become the exclusivepiano of the Van Cliburn Foundation.

The most obvious example of this relationship at the Eleventh Competition is the presenceof Steinway pianos on the Bass PerformanceHall stage. Each of the 30 competitors will perform on Steinway pianos made in the company's New York and Hamburg factories.

These instruments are meticulously maintained throughout the Cliburn Competition by Steinwaytechnicians.

This will not be the first time that the competitors have performed on such an instrument: Steinway & Sons also provided the pianos and technicians for the screening recitals in seven cities around the globe. Steinway assisted in Europe with instruments for the screening recitals in Utrecht, The Netherlands and Lugano, Switzerland. Steinway Hall in New York and its dealer represenlatives in Chicago and Dallas provided pianos for screening recitals in the United States.

TEXASCHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY: AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT -ILhe ex t r ao rd i n a rytra d i ti o n o [ th e Van Cliburn International Piano Competition was born on the carnpus of Texas Christian University at the dawn of the very first gathering of world-class competitors in 1962.

TCU, a major teaching and research institution, and the Van Cliburn Foundation have been bringing great m us ic lo t he me tro p l e xe v e rs i n c e .

Two decades of Cliburn Concerts at Ed Landreth Hall have brought an extraordinary number of the major artists of the second half of the 20th century to the TCU campus,attracting audiencesfrom all over the American southwest. Performing were such luminaries as James Galway, Claudio Arrau, Andriis Schiff, Menahem Pressler,Radu Lupu, Murray Perahia, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Alicia de Larrocha, Earl Wilde, Andrâ&#x201A;Ź Watts, Evgeny Kissin, Yo-Yo Ma, Frederica von Stade, Samuel Ramey, Itzhak Perlman, Cecilia Bartoli, Ren6e Fleming, and Bryn Terfel. No hall in the United Statescould do better. Ed Landreth Hall remains the second most important site (after New York City) for the screening audition recitals of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. For the Eleventh Competition, eight public concerts were held in February 2001, during which 23 competitors each played 'lO-minute recitals in the hall. In addition to the U.S., they hailed from ltaly, Brazil, Kazakhstan, Russia,Lithuania, Spain,South Africa, China, Korea, and Uzbekistan.

T oday . T CU c o n ti n u e s to o p e n i ts doors to those who sharea passionfor the piano, as it hosts the foundation's International Piano Competition for Outstanding Amateurs. Establishedin June of 1999, this one-of-a-kindbiennial event for non-professional pianists has captured the imagination

Van Clibr-rrnfirst visited Interlochen as a professionalmusician back tn I96L Impressed,he annually returned to Interlochen to work with young musiciansand to perform concertsto help raise money for scholarships.Van Cliburn made 18 concerto appearancesat Interlochen and has been on tl-reboard of trusteessince 1963.

Interlochenand its f10,000alumni owe their successto people like Van Cliburn.

This year,more than 2,500 young artists studying music, dance, theatre, visual arts and creativewriting will participate in Interlochen arts programs. For many, it will be a life-changingexperience.
