Since 1962, the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition has been the most visible expression of the Van Cliburn Foundation's commitment to the highest standards of musical achievement. The Foundation disseminates classical music worldwide, as well as launches and nurtures young artists' careers through the quadrennial Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, ensuing international concert tours of its medalists, award-winning television documentaries, and internationally syndicated radio series dedicated to the Competition and its most memorable performances. By making the Competition available in its entirety on the internet, the Foundation has extended its outreach to listeners in every corner of the globe.

For audiences in North Texas, the Van Cliburn Foundation promotes great music and world-class artists through the annual Cliburn Concerts series, ongoing educational programs, and the International Piano Competition for Outstanding Amateurs, recently established as a biennial forum for non-professional musicians. This event marks another step forward in the Foundation's mission to introduce new audiences to the inspiration of classical music, especially as experienced through live performance.
