We're delighted to announce a very special #TwoPianoTuesday livestream series:
BACKSTAGE@CLIBURN 2022!
Launching Tuesday, April 4, the five-episode series will take you inside the unforgettable drama and riveting artistry of the historic 2022 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition.
As official correspondents for the competition, we were waiting in the wings to cheer on and interview all of the competitors as they walked off stage. The result was ten hours of unfiltered reactions, poignant emotions, and compelling insights. We have curated and edited together this footage to premiere, along with new commentary and performance montages (culled from 60 hours of performance footage), on five Tuesdays this April and May. Join us for exclusive content you won't find anywhere else!
Check out the trailer for a taste of what's to come:
