“So many piano competitions, so little time. Honens Competition, however, may be on to something."

In 1991, philanthropist Esther Honens established The Esther Honens International Piano Competition Foundation in her hometown of Calgary with a gift of $5 million. Her dream was to discover and launch the careers of the world’s most promising emerging pianists—a dream that has become a highly renowned international success story. Honens Laureates are acclaimed the world-over and the triennial “Se

arch for the Complete Artist” awards one of the world’s largest and most prestigious piano prizes. The annual Honens Festival is one of Canada’s premier classical music events, intended to share Esther Honens’ love of world renowned music with Albertans every year. The Honens Festival was named 2015 Festival of the Year at Tourism Calgary’s White Hat Awards, in recognition of Honens’ efforts to enrich our city’s community spirit and raise Calgary’s profile as a tourism destination on national and global scales.
