Juries / 2012 Juries

The Honens juries include those in the musical world – not limited to pianists – who play a role in a concert artist’s career. While pianists remain central to their make-up, juries also include an artist manager, a collaborative musician, concert and festival presenters and producers, a conductor and a record executive. All jurors have extensive knowledge of the piano literature and are in tune with the qualities an artist must possess in order to build and sustain a career in today’s musical world.
