Internationally renowned pianist Kenny Broberg played a special Countdown to the Cliburn concert in Lake Park.
It was an honor to host the world-renowned pianist and 2017 Cliburn Silver Medalist in advance of the 2022 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition!
This special concert was part of the Countdown to the Cliburn preview series leading up to the international piano competition in Fort Worth this summer. This was a fun way to kick off this year’s Lake Park music series on a beautiful spring Sunday afternoon.
The concert at Lake Park was just one of a series of 12 free concerts around Fort Worth over the course of 8 weeks leading up to the 16th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in June. If you missed the concert at Walsh, check out the Cliburn website for the schedule of other upcoming concerts counting down to the competition.
We are committed to education and an appreciation of the arts, so it was an honor host this incredible musician and to have the Cliburn Kids inspire a love of music in our youngest residents.
