You Don't Need a Medal to Make It: The Real Blueprint to Long-Term Artistic Success

Pierre van der Westhuizen describes a unique organization, The Gilmore, and the prize awarded every four years to pianists, that has been compared to the MacArthur Fellowship. Recipients have included Leif Ove Andsnes, Piotr Anderszewski, Ingrid Fliter, Kirill Gerstein, Rafał Blechacz, Igor Levit, and Alexandre Kantorow. We discuss what it takes to nurture musical talent, to present a vision, and to fund it through community and personal contact. Filmed May 2023 in Kalamazoo, Michigan Video: Katalog-film.de
