I have really been enjoying it so far - fantastic talent out there.

The 20 year old blind pianist from Japan is playing tonight (Sat.) - he’s first on at 7:30 CDT. He is playing 12 Etudes, Op. 10 by Chopin, Debussy Preludes Bk. 1 and Lizst “La Campanella.” Should be just amazing and inspiring.

If anyone is having trouble accessing either cliburn.tv or cliburn.org, use Mozilla Firefox instead of IE. When I try IE, I get an error message. But Mozilla works just fine.

One more nice thing - they are archiving all of the performances for on-demand viewing. So if you miss the live performance, no problem. You can catch it at any time!
