Everything about The Van Cliburn International Piano Competition totally explained
The
Van Cliburn International Piano Competition was first held in
1962 in
Fort Worth, Texas. It was created by
Fort Worth area teachers in honor of
Van Cliburn, who had won the first
International Tchaikovsky Competition four years prior with
Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto and
Rachmaninoff's
Piano Concerto No. 3.
The Van Cliburn Competition is held every four years (the year after the United States Presidential elections; thus, the next competitions will be held in 2009, 2013, and so forth). The winners and runners-up receive substantial cash prizes, plus concert tours at world-famous venues where they perform pieces of their choice. This competition now rivals the Tchaikovsky competition and is often dubbed "the most prestigious in the world."
Previously held on the campus of
Texas Christian University, the competition is now held at the
Bass Performance Hall.
