Pianist and video blogger Jade Simmons recently hosted the live online webcast of the 14th Van Cliburn Piano Competition.  She hosted interviews, provided commentary, and used social media to converse with fans about the many performances.  Click here to watch Jade’s recap vlog.  We think Jade deserves a big round of applause for her work on this project – many fans that were following the competition via the webcast and social media commented on what a fantastic job she did.  Bravo Jade!
