Over the past two days (5-6 June), 18 competitors each performed a 40-minute recital during the quarter-final round at Van Cliburn Concert Hall at TCU. Hundreds of patrons watched in person, along with the jury, as a large audience joined from around the globe via the Competition’s live, fully produced webcast.
In the semi-finals (8-12 June), each pianist performs twice: a 60-minute recital, without repeating any repertoire from earlier rounds; and a Mozart concerto with the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra conducted by noted Mozart specialist Nicholas McGegan.
At the end of the semi-finals, six competitors will be chosen to advance to the final round, which will run from 14-18 June at Bass Performance Hall. The finalists will be announced late in the evening on 12 June.
