Only two women have won gold at the Van Cliburn In

Only two women have won gold at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. This year, four women strive to add their names to that list.

Competitors Alice Burla, Yanjun Chen, Magdalene Ho and Chaeyoung Park will take the stage during the preliminaries May 21-23, each performing a 40-minute recital. Anastasia Vorotnaya was also slated to compete, but she withdrew due to health concerns.

The last woman to secure the gold was Olga Kern in 2001, who won jointly with Stanislav Ioudenitch — more than 30 years after Cristina Ortiz won in 1969.

The 17th Van Cliburn International Piano Competiti

The 17th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition begins Wednesday, with two fewer competitors than planned.

Korkmaz Can Sağlam, 25, of Turkey and Anastasia Vorotnaya, 30, of Russia both withdrew, citing health reasons. Neither competitor will be replaced, leaving 28 artists left in the running.

“It’s very sad. They prepare for years to achieve this level of playing and what they prepare for the Cliburn, it’s a very demanding repertoire,” said Jacques Marquis, president and CEO of the Cliburn.
