Ho, no! Festival chief quits in 40 words

Ho, no! Festival chief quits in 40 words

Message from the Honens festival and piano competition president John Kieser:

My dear friends and colleagues – some news. I have great respect for the work that Honens does; however, it has become apparent to me that Honens needs a different type of leadership, so I have stepped down as the President & CEO.

Kieser has been in the job for 16 months. He was previously with the streaming service Idagio.
