Live piano performances by local competitors Ken Iisaka and Esfir Ross on a Steinway grand piano courtesy of Sherman Clay.
"A documentary of outstanding merit and a brilliant multiple character study, an in-depth look at how music is made."
Janos Gereben, San Francisco Classical Voice
Life comes between us and our dreams. Sometimes, we are lucky enough to be reunited.
They Came to Play is a multi-award-winning, uplifting feature-length documentary chronicling the International Piano Competition for Outstanding Amateurs, hosted by The Van Cliburn Foundation.
Top amateur pianists from all over the world, ranging from self-taught to classically-trained, aged thirty-five to almost eighty, convene in Fort Worth, Texas for a week of competition, music and camaraderie.
"They Came to Play is both entertaining and touching, with a marvelously quirky cast of characters that reminds you why documentary films are so much more surprising than fictional ones."
Mark Harris, Oscar Winner, Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport
