The seventeenth edition of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition will take place May 21–June 7, 2025, in Fort Worth, Texas USA. The 18-day event is expected to reach tens of millions around the globe in a showcase of the future of classical piano like no other. As has been true for decades, the three medalists will receive three years of career management and concert bookings, in a personalized prize package designed to best support healthy career launches for the emerging artists. This is an award from the Cliburn, distinct from the Cliburn Agency roster.
The Cliburn Agency is a full-service boutique firm that offers comprehensive general management, concert booking, project management, and publicity and branding services to a select group of rising and established instrumentalists—piano and beyond—whose high artistic caliber is matched by a vision for moving the field of classical music forward.
From intriguing programming and projects to alternative concerts and community engagement, the touring musicians of the Agency roster are dedicated to connection and creativity—and they are partnering with the Cliburn to enhance and magnify their careers, efforts, and impact.
“The Cliburn Agency is a compelling expansion of the Cliburn’s brand and impact. Our core mission is to support artists and continuously advance classical music. The management and promotion of exceptional musicians—particularly those with a specific fervor and dedication for expanding audiences and breaking down barriers—is the next step in realizing that mission. Through this new program, the Cliburn develops another powerful way to meet the moment and find new ways to expand classical music’s reach as a source of commonality and shared experience in today’s world.”
