Screening with short film The Past is in the Present: At Home with Gunther Schuller

What does it take to be a concert pianist? At the 2013 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, director Christopher Wilkinson takes us behind the scenes to give us an intimate portrait of the group of young finalists. Capturing their fears, dreams, and everyday realities through candid interviews,

Virtuosity also dazzles us with their talent—whether casually demonstrating for the camera or performing live in front of 2,000 people. This documentary celebrates the joy of music and the tenacity of these young musicians, but it also pays tribute to the memory of Van Cliburn.
