A CHAT WITH THE NEW CLIBURN CHIEF: Next month, David Chambless Worters will take over as president and CEO of the Van Cliburn Foundation. If you’re headed out to the Vladimir Feltsman recital tonight at Bass Hall, Worters will be on hand for a Q&A beforehand.

I see the Cliburn as playing a leadership role not just in the realm of musical competition, but as a leading advocate for the arts in our society and for music education as a core value in our country,” he says.
