The screening auditions — free and open to the public at TCU — determine which pianists will compete in the Seventeenth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. For one week in March, 77 pianists will arrive in Fort Worth to perform 25-minute recitals for a public audience and members of the Screening Jury. The screening jurors — comprised of five internationally recognized artists—will then select 30 to return in May for the 2025 Cliburn Competition. Free to attend. No tickets required.
