HONENS INTERNATIONAL PIANO COMPETITION Calgary, Alberta, Canada
WFIMC Member since 1998
Honens promotes and fosters excellence in the art of piano performance, identifies and supports young artists with outstanding musicianship, and sparks and enhances appreciation and understanding of the piano and piano music. Every three years, the Honens International Piano Competition identifies a Gold, Silver, and Bronze Laureate who best reflect the philosophy of the Complete Artist. In addition to awarding substantial cash prizes, Honens prepares its Laureates for professional careers in music through its Artist Development Program—a comprehensive, three-year artistic development and career accelerator—and creates opportunities for growth and exposure. The Honens Gold Prize is one of the world’s largest of its kind. In addition, Honens has introduced its newest prize—the Incubator Award. The award provides one Quarterfinalist, who has the passion and courage to be a change agent, with up to three years of support for one special project. Driven by its commitment to responsibility to competitors, the community, and the art music ecosphere, Honens provides a runway for Laureates to set themselves apart from other artists as skilled performers who are also leaders, educators, advocates, and citizen artists.
