Performance Today for Saturday, June 15, 2013
It's hard to imagine the pressure that was on pianists at the Van Cliburn Piano Competition last week. "It's pretty difficult to deal with the pressure," competitor Beatrice Rana said. "Thirteen people —they decide your fate as a pianist." Luckily for Rana, the jury sided in her favor. She took home the silver medal on Sunday and won the audience award. We'll hear that winning performance of the Schumann Piano Quintet with Beatrice Rana and the Brentano String Quartet on Thursday's Performance Today.
