We’re kicking off the 2023 Honens Festival with the annual audience favourite—176 Keys! Eight hands will fly on two pianos when 2022 Honens Prize Laureate Illia Ovcharenko is joined by Artistic Director Jon Kimura Parker, as well as Calgary pianists Akiko Tominaga and Jani Parsons.
The program includes the massive Toccata and Fugue by J.S. Bach, Dave Brubeck’s jazzy Take Five, Milhaud’s colourful Scaramouche, and cameo appearances by Scott Joplin’s Rags and Wagner’s Valkyries!
