Artistic & Career Development Program

One pianist will be named the Honens Laureate and be awarded a half-million dollar (CAN) three-year artistic and career development program. 


The program includes worldwide representation for three years; debut recitals in career-building markets that may include Amsterdam, Berlin, London, Munich, New York, Paris and Toronto, residencies at The Banff Centre in preparation for collaborative touring projects, development of repertory and live recordings, coaching and mentorship opportunities with established touring artists, and a recording on the Hyperion label. The program is custom-designed in consultation with the Laureate.

The Artistic & Career Development Program is partly underwritten by donations from Honens Laureate Circle members from across Canada.




Laureate Award

The Honens Laureate receives a glass award created by accomplished Calgary artist, Mark Gibeau. Honens has commissioned GIbeau to create the trademark Honens Laureate Award since the Second Competition in 1996.
