Watch the full documentary "Van Cliburn Concert PIanist" by Peter Rosen here: bit.ly/VanCliburnConcertPianist
Following his victory, Van Cliburn became a household name and set attendance records at the country’s most prestigious concert houses and some of its most well-known venues like New York’s Madison Square Garden and Chicago’s Grant Park. In November 1958, for the first time in its seventy-seven-year history, the Boston Symphony Orchestra was forced by demand for tickets to schedule a repeat performance of a concert. With Mr. Cliburn as soloist, the repeat was promptly sold out as well. Even nearly half a century after his monumental victory, Mr. Cliburn continued to sell out crowds: in June, 1994, at a special concert at Grant Park with the Chicago Symphony with Maestro Leonard Slatkin, newspapers reported that according to police estimates, 350,000 people were in attendance.
