2025-2026 Cliburn Concerts

FAVORITES

This season of Cliburn Concerts has plenty of your favorites. We’ve got Beatrice Rana, who stole our hearts at the 2013 Competition and is now arguably one of the most important pianists performing today; Conrad Tao, who returns to Fort Worth, this time to the Tannahill’s stage with dancer Caleb Teicher in the extraordinary Counterpoint program; Charles Yang on violin and vocals with our Peter Dugan on piano—they’re perennial favorites, in a couple of iterations, who always leave us in awe; cellist Camille Thomas, whose elegance and virtuosity hasn’t been forgotten since her debut with us a few years ago; and Sybrarite5, the revolutionary quintet that is back for a third time, because they’re awesome. Among your new favorites will be the opera power couple Nicole Car and Etienne Dupuis, who are making their debuts this season while in town to perform with the Dallas Opera. And two more: our 2025 jury chair (the legendary Paul Lewis, making his Cliburn Concerts debut!) and our 2025 gold medalist, fresh off a first-place finish and a tour launch! Poetic, fun, excellent… Our favorites, and yours.

It will be a Cliburn Concerts season to remember. Purchase your tickets now!
