Piano lovers, rejoice! The quadrennial piano olympics begin this week and promise to be chock-full of mind-blowing talent, incredible music, and hair-raising performances. The entire competition will be streamed free-of-charge and hosted, in part, by yours truly.
While co-hosting the 2017 Cliburn Competition was hugely rewarding for us, it was also exhausting. Incredibly and impressively, The Cliburn has tripled the size of the production team for the 2022 competition. Look for an entirely new webcast setup this year — more bells & whistles, hosts, and content. You’ll find us highlighting many of the behind-the-scenes activities, and Liz will be co-hosting at the anchor desk for the finals alongside Buddy Bray!
From The Cliburn:
The entire sixteenth edition of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition (June 2–18, 2022) will be streamed live online from the first note to the announcement of the new 2022 gold medalist.
The Cliburn was a pioneer in the early days of webcasting, and it continues to innovate and expand this vital program as a global leader in the field; this year becoming the first classical music competition in the world to broadcast in 4K HDR.
The 2022 Competition webcast promises an even higher level of quality of sound and picture; a compelling, immersive program around the performances that gives viewers behind-the-scenes access and insightful commentary; and the widest selection of ways to watch of any classical music competition in history.
Viewership is expected to top 10 million.
