President

“The Honens International Piano Competition, based in Canada, prides itself on awarding accomplished pianists who are complete musicians. This may seem a lofty claim, but the Honens has a long list of thoughtful awardees to back it up.”—The New York Times

THE ORGANIZATION

Honens discovers, nurtures and presents Complete Pianists—21st century artists for 21st century audiences.

Esther Honens created a legacy of musical excellence to be enjoyed for generations. In 1991, knowing she was near the end of her life, Mrs Honens gave $5 million to endow an international piano competition in her hometown of Calgary, Canada. Her generosity, vision and love of music continue to touch the lives of Calgarians, Canadians and musicians and music-lovers around the world.

The triennial Honens Piano Competition’s ‘Search for the Complete Pianist’ awards the world’s largest prize of its kind, $100,000 and an artistic and career development program valued at a half million dollars. The Honens Competition discovers a unique, imaginative and informed artist, an emerging Complete Pianist whose distinctive voice, versatility and ease as a communicator demonstrate that he/she is ready to professionalize a career. Honens is committed to nurturing lifelong artistic and professional development of its Laureates.

Every September, Honens presents Calgary’s only summer classical music festival. The event features four days of extraordinary music making, with free and ticketed events. There is something for everyone including performances by some of the world’s top pianists, an Open Air concert, late night programming, Storytellers for children and learning opportunities for Alberta’s emerging talent.

Honens is active in the community through its Open Air concert, Masterclasses, Music as a Second Language performance lectures, free concerts by Competition Semifinalists during the Competition and Storytellers which introduces children and their families to the fun of classical music through narrated stories set to music for piano, in both concert and school settings.

The successful candidates will join a dynamic team of cross-disciplinary design faculty comprising industrial design, interaction design, and communication design. Candidates should be equally fluent in design discourse and studio practice and in balancing the conceptual, aesthetic and technical demands of the discipline. This involves balancing theory and practice in an integrated way. In addition to teaching, faculty are expected to contribute to curriculum development and planning, participate in portfolio reviews and upper-level design critiques, provide undergraduate and graduate student supervision, engage in research, serve on administrative committees and be an active and engaged member of the Emily Carr community.

The Communication Design major focuses on the development of meaningful messages and experiences to create culturally and socially relevant narratives, and is one of three design majors in the Faculty of Design + Dynamic Media. Design at Emily Carr University has evolved as a human-centred practice that focuses on the social, technological, and experiential needs of contemporary society. As such, the three majors have shared values and goals in areas of collaboration, sustainability, interdisciplinarity, technological engagement, design methods, and research.

Letters of application should address the candidate’s expertise in the areas of teaching, professional practice and research. Applications should include:
