Sean Chen, Crystal Award Winner at the fourteenth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. Chen is the first American to win a prize since 1997. He captivated the audience and critics at the 2013 Cliburn Competition. "He summoned massive, orchestral sonorities, yet he could also play with enormous delicacy. It was a muscular, impassioned performance, and you felt like he is an artist with something to say" (Cincinnati Enquirer).

"Sean Chen has been an audience favorite from the early rounds. With his floppy hair and outstanding stage presence combined with an extraordinary technique and musicianship, this is little wonder." - Gregory Isaacs, TheaterJones
