For pianists 13 to 17, the Cliburn International Junior Piano Competition is less a contest than a challenge and learning experience.
In Richardson, at a Chamber Music International Concert, these excellent musicians played superbly, at less than fortissimo.
Among the many young Asians now studying music, few will become professional musicians. But musical training is increasingly seen as cultivating analytical skills and discipline important elsewhere in life. For this year’s Junior competitors, a big draw is the opportunity to meet other musicians and play for other audiences after the restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“These young kids in the last three years have been isolated in their own countries, especially in Asia,” Marquis says. “This is for them one of the first occasions to go out and meet other pianists like them who are trying to improve their art and craft. They’re really looking forward to this Cliburn experience, where they can learn from each other, and from the experts we bring, all the jury members and others from the music world.”Cliburn International Junior Piano Competition and Festival. All rounds before the final at Caruth Auditorium, Owen Fine Arts Center, Southern Methodist University, Bishop and Binkley. Final Round at Meyerson Symphony Center, 2301 Flora St.
