South African pianist Steven de Groote was a stunningly talented musician who never got to enjoy all of the fruits of his labor; he died tragically after a plane crash at age 36. Still, in his short life, de Groote made a mark on the international classical music scene, winning the coveted Gold Metal at the the 1977 Van Cliburn Competition.
