Virtuosity searches for the musical souls of the most gifted young pianists on the planet as they try to make a name for themselves of the 2013 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. The pressure on these kids is overwhelming because the stakes are so high: prize money, concert bookings, a recording contract, a career.

At the heart of this story is the courage is takes for 20-year-old to go onstage alone before 2,000 people, and hundreds of thousands more online, and play a unique interpretation of one of the most difficult pieces ever written for the piano. The Competition requires not only a transcendent musical ability, but a mental toughness that must sustain the soloist through three straight weeks of performance. The Cliburn becomes as much a test of character as a musical proving ground.
