There’s no strict dress code for Honens events, and we encourage you to wear what makes you feel comfortable and confident. Attire typically ranges from smart casual to more formal dress, with some guests opting for suits or dresses and others in more relaxed styles. We recommend choosing something comfortable for sitting through performances, so you can fully enjoy the music.

Applause
Applause is always appreciated at Honens performances. As a general guide, it’s customary to wait until the end of an entire piece before clapping (which can have several movements with short breaks between). When in doubt, simply follow the lead of the rest of the audience and feel free to show your enthusiasm at the end of a performance.
