Today marks 10 years since Van Cliburn passed away. Though we all still mourn the loss of his inspired, supportive, and magnanimous spirit among us, we are constantly thankful to have such a powerful vision to solidly steer the Cliburn, even as it grows and evolves to serve artists and reach large audiences in today’s world.
