My heart is about to burst with hometown pride: the Van Cliburn Piano Competition draws to a close tomorrow, and for two weeks, Ft. Worth, TX, has been on the international map in the world of classical music. Once every four years the best and brightest pianists from around the world compete in Fort Worth for the prestigious honor of the Cliburn medals.

Van Cliburn himself was a hometown hero, and a household name in North Texas.

Growing up in Ft. Worth, I recall attending the Van Cliburn rehearsals on the campus of Texas Christian University, with the freedom to come and go at will. The experience made a deep impression on me and engendered my love of classical musical.

Van Cliburn established the piano competition after winning the Tchaikovsky International Competition in Moscow in 1958. The win helped bridge a cultural divide in the Cold War Era, and worldwide respect for classical American musicians had been slow in coming. Van Cliburn changed that forever. He unfortunately passed away on Februrary 27, 2013, but his legacy will live forever.
