There she lived her final years, lionized as the mother of an international concert star and musical celebrity. As long as her health permitted, well into her nineties, she circulated prominently in Fort Worth society at her son's side at cultural and church events (she was a lifelong, devoted Southern Baptist) and frequently entertained visiting musical artists. She died at the age of ninety-seven in Fort Worth on August 3, 1994, five days after suffering a stroke. At that time, construction had begun on the Rildia Bee O'Bryan Organ at Broadway Baptist Church in Fort Worth; it was projected that the instrument would be the largest organ in Texas at the time of its completion in October 1996.

65. The Piano: Piano Stars Today From the van cliburn Competition website In June 2001, Olga Kern was awarded the If you like traveling via the Internet, you can visit this pianist s http://www.ovationtv.com/artszone/programs/piano/stars.html

Lang Lang (born 1982) Yes, his name sounds like it might be well suited to a Panda bear, but pianist Lang Lang is considered to be one of the greatest young musicians in the world. He's been performing in public ever since he was five years old, winning a competition playing the works of Chopin and Liszt. Lang Lang was born in Shenyang, the fifth largest city in China. At the age of 15, he moved to the United States to study at Philadelphia's Curtis School of Music. PBS's "In My Life" website asked Lang Lang who his heroes are: "Musically, it was Vladimir Horowitz, who was the greatest pianist of the last century, and also another pianist, Arthur Rubinstein. My personal role model was Michael Jordan. And then when I came to America, it was Tiger Woods, too. Both Jordan and Woods have such great discipline and they’re not only athletes, they’re artists. It’s amazing to watch them play because they’re both so natural, dedicated, and talented." How did he get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, he told PBS: "I woke up every day at 5:00 am to practice piano for an hour. Then I went to school until 3:00 pm, came home, practiced piano some more, and then did homework in the evening. I practiced piano five hours a day!"

Press Releases FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PRESS CONTACTS Chris Komai - Jon Nakamatsu, Surprise Van Cliburn Winner, to be Honored at Japanese American National Museum Dinner Los Angeles Even his piano teacher, Marina Derryberry, was surprised when Jon Nakamatsu earned the Gold Medal at the 10th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition earlier this year in Fort Worth, Texas. And Derryberry has been instructing Nakamatsu since he was six years old. Nakamatsu and NBC-TV's "Today" News Anchor Ann Curry will become the first recipients of the Japanese American National Museum's Awards for Excellence when they will be honored at the institution's Annual Dinner on Saturday, Nov. 15, at the Century Plaza Hotel. The dinner's theme is "Building New Traditions: Recognizing Japanese American Excellence". The Museum will also present its Corporate Leadership Awards to Mikasa and Kenwood and will give special recognition to the late Noby Yamakoshi, a Museum Trustee. Besides being honored, Nakamatsu will perform at the dinner. Now 29, Jon became only the third American in 36 years to earn the Van Cliburn gold medal and the first in 16 years. More dramatically, Nakamatsu was the only entrant in the competition to not study at a music conservatory or even major in music in college. Nakamatsu majored in German studies at Stanford and earned his masters degree in education. For the past six years, he has earned his living as a German teacher at St. Francis High School in Mountain View, California. Unlike most of his competitors, Jon has had just two piano teachers in his life: Derryberry since 1974 and Karl Ulrich Schnabel since 1977.

September 1999 Concert Pianists for a Weekend: The Van Cliburn Amateurs Carl Tait [This article first appeared on June 16, 1999, when the author posted it to several of the Usenet newsgroups relating to classical music. It is reproduced here in its entirety with the author's kind permission - AC] The First Van Cliburn International Piano Competition for Outstanding Amateurs ended late Sunday evening, June 13, 1999, much to the regret of its participants. Disappointment that it was over? Aren't competitions supposed to be vicious, highly-politicized events full of sound, fury and forgettably perfect performances? All too often, yes. But this competition had a completely different feel from any I've played in or heard about. All of us who competed wanted to play miraculously and walk off with one of the prizes, but that's where the similarity with standard music contests ended. This event had the feel of 92 talented amateur pianists getting together in an exceptionally large living room to play for each other. Every once in a while, we'd go outside and chat for awhile, or sit down to dinner to discuss our passion for music and other, less important, subjects. I've never felt such a lack of "competition" in the usual sense of the word: yes, we knew we'd be narrowed down to successively smaller groups of active performers, and someone would eventually win, but I sensed none of the edgy terror that usually accompanies such rituals. Instead, there was palpable enthusiasm, excitement, and sheer happiness at being included in a large group of people with similarly intense feelings about piano playing, despite our chosen careers in fields other than music.

GRAMMY.com Joshua Cheek The year was 1958. Tail fins were growing, rock and roll was winning the hearts and minds of youth around the world, and the Cold War was at its frostiest. That a lanky piano-playing Texan (who would not have looked out of place in a group photo with Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens) would become a national hero was the last thing that anyone expected. The drama and political intrigue surrounding the First International Tchaikovsky Piano Competition in Moscow had the makings of a Hollywood feel-good film on the scale of Seabiscuit The judges quickly realized that the young pianist from Texas was outplaying their "favorite," Lev Vlasenko, a Russian. The possibility of an American being the winner compelled some judges to boycott Cliburn's performances; others deliberately gave him low scores and some, despite the pressures, gave him the scores he deserved or even perfect scores to counterbalance the other judges' biased results.

When Alexander Kobrin was a toddler in Russia, he played happily with his toys as long as he could hear music. When the radio was turned off, he cried. His piano-teacher father taught Mr. Kobrin how to play when he was five. Although he often preferred playing soccer to practicing, the piano became so important to him that the first compact disc he bought was one by famed pianist Van Cliburn. On June 5, at the age of twenty-five, Mr. Kobrin was awarded the Nancy Lee and Perry R. Bass Gold Medal at the Twelfth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, along with three years of international concert engagements coordinated by IMG Artists (U.K.) Limited, and a compact disc recording of his award-winning Cliburn Competition performances for the harmonia mundi usa label. First-prize winner of the 1999 Busoni Competition and a top prize winner of both the 2000 Chopin and 2003 Hamamatsu Competitions, Alexander Kobrin has toured extensively throughout Europe, South America, and Asia. He has performed with the Moscow Virtuosi, the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, the Virtuosi of Salzburg Chamber Orchestra, and the Moscow State Symphony Orchestra. Recent engagements include collaborations with the Rio de Janeiro Symphonic Orchestra, the English Chamber Orchestra, and the Osaka and Tokyo Symphony Orchestras. Last season, Mr. Kobrin toured Italy and Japan while completing his graduate studies at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory under the direction of Lev Naumov.
