    Bass Performance Hall
    CLAYTON STEPHENSON
    United States I Age 23
    Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra
    Nicholas McGegan, conductor
    MOZART Piano Concerto No. 21 in C Major, K. 467
    Growing up in New York City, Clayton Stevenson found musical inspiration in community programs. As he describes it, the “3rd Street Music School jump-started my music education; the Young People’s Choir taught me phrasing and voicing; the Juilliard Outreach Music Advancement Program introduced me to formal and rigorous piano training, which enabled me to get into Juilliard Pre-College; the Morningside Music Bridge validated my talent and elevated my self-confidence; and the Boy’s Club of New York exposed me to jazz; and the Lang Lang Foundation brought me to stages worldwide and transformed me from a piano student to a young artist.”
    Clayton now studies in the Harvard-NEC Dual Degree Program, pursuing a bachelor’s degree in economics at Harvard and a master’s degree in piano performance at the New England Conservatory under Wha Kyung Byun. And his accolades along the way have been bountiful: 2021 Gilmore Young Artist; 2017 U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts; Jack Kent Cooke Young Artist Award; Gheens Young Artist; Young Scholar of the Lang Lang International Music Foundation; and a jury discretionary award at the 2015 Cliburn International Junior Piano Competition and Festival.
    Highlights of Clayton’s burgeoning career include recitals at Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, Kissinger Sommer Festival in Bad Kissinger, BeethovenFest in Bonn, Stars and Rising Stars in Munich, Swiss Alps Classics at Switzerland, and Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall. He has been featured on NPR, WUOL, and WQXR, and appeared in the “GRAMMY® Salute to Classical Music” Concert at Carnegie’s Stern Auditorium.
    He has performed as a guest artist with orchestras including the Calgary Philharmonic, Chicago Sinfonietta, Louisville Symphony, Augusta Symphony, Colour of Music Festival, and Tuscaloosa Symphony Orchestras. On the 69th U.N. Day, Clayton played with the International Youth Orchestra at the United Nations General Assembly Hall.

    When Clayton was 16, his African - American father passed away. If He is still alive today, his father much be very proud of him. He is bright in academics too ! His mother is Chinese, from Beijing, China. At the young age, he lost his father, his single mother brought him up to today he is the one of the 6 finalists in the 16th's Van Cliburn International Piano Competition.

      Clayton's parents actually divorced when he was very young, and he was raised by his single mother. But yes, he is very impressive indeed, considering his childhood struggles and difficulties.

      @@newcenturypianists3195 I don't know this part. But anyway the Chinese mother is a great mother, very protective of her son. Clayton is a very humble and very sincere boy. I like his performance, full of passion, Joy, he deserved to be one of the finalists. Final round is tonight.

    There's a video of Clayton getting a masterclass from Lang Lang on Liszt's mephisto waltz on KRplus. A few years old now.

  • @michelescharapan157

    He is not only a pianist, but a musician who knows what phrasing means, with a lived-in sound.
    I wish him all the best in his life as a musician

    He is a very talented pianist but he's sometimes so harsh that it borders on unpleasant, especially his Mozart. Phrasing is a bit flat. Sounds like a MIDI file. But again, he's an amazing pianist.

    CS says he doesn't care whether he wins or not. Too bad his final spot didn't go to someone who does care....and he played Gershwin after Ilya's Rach 3? Not a serious piece for a competition like this ...
