The first-ever Digital Van Cliburn Concert Series was presented in two parts on December 3 and 10, 2020. Tap here to view the full concerts: bit.ly/Watch-VanCliburn
For Part I of the series, acclaimed pianist Lara Downes performs “Lost in the Stars,” written by Kurt Weill and Maxwell Anderson, and arranged by Jed Distler.
Downes has been called “ravishing” by Fanfare Magazine, “luscious, moody, and dreamy” by The New York Times, and “addicting” by The Huffington Post. Lara’s forays into the broad landscape of American music have created a series of acclaimed recordings, including America Again, selected by NPR as one of “10 Albums that Saved 2016,” and hailed as “a balm for a country riven by disunion” by The Boston Globe. Her recent Sony Classical debut release For Lenny debuted in the Billboard Top 20 and was awarded the 2017 Classical Recording Foundation Award.
