They Came to Play

Piano players from all over the world, ranging in age from thirty-five to eighty, convene for the Van Cliburn Foundation’s Fifth International Piano Competition for Outstanding Amateurs: one week of intense competition and camaraderie. Enriched by compelling stories of musicians who’ve struggled to balance music with their “real” lives, this documentary will keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you awestruck by the sheer beauty of the performances and the passion of the performers.

This film is part of the Senior Afternoon Cinema series.
