The Van Cliburn Competition started a boutique management firm, to be known as the Cliburn Agency.
Its initial roster consists of relative unknowns: pianists Greg Anderson, Peter Dugan, Fei-Fei (pictured) and Clayton Stephenson, Anderson & Roe Piano Duo; and harpist Bridget Kibbey.
Jacques Marquis, Cliburn president and CEO said: ‘Our core mission is to support artists and continuously advance classical music. The management and promotion of exceptional musicians—particularly those with a specific fervor and dedication for expanding audiences and breaking down barriers—is the next step in realizing that mission. Through this new program, the Cliburn develops another powerful way to meet the moment and find new ways to expand classical music’s reach as a source of commonality and shared experience in today’s world.’
