We're pleased to announce Canadian-born arts administrator, John Kieser, as our incoming President & CEO! Mr. Kieser comes to Honens with a substantial background in artistic leadership positions and is uniquely positioned to lead Honens into the future, beginning in July.

In Concert on @CBCMusic features Honens 2022 Competition on Sunday 20 November at 12:30 pm (local time) with host Paolo Pietropaolo. Highlights include Ovcharenko’s concertos, Zhang’s Beethoven Sonata, and Balogh’s Goodyear performance.

"The only one to play the Mozart concerto by memory, Ovcharenko proved to be a remarkably stylish Mozartian. It is also helpful to simply hit the ball out of the park. The audience was simply overwhelmed." -- @calgaryherald
