The Cliburn Foundation released the following statement by pianist Vadym Kholodenko about the deaths of his young daughters on Thursday, while his wife, Sofya Tsygankova, is still held for mental evaluation: “Being in a great grief I would like to address this message to everyone who thinks about my family. The loss of my children will be with me forever. But I would like to say that I feel the support of the Fort Worth community and all people who are sending me messages all over the world. (…) Wherever I go after this tragedy my heart will stay with the people here of Fort Worth and my daughters will rest in this soil.”
