As summer’s rays fade into fall, the Honens Festival presents four days of live music concerts in Calgary. The third day of the festival includes two free events:

• 10:30 am at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church, 1121 14 Ave SW:
Xenia @ Honens: Ladom Ensemble ($5/family upfront, but refunded upon arrival) – Join the Ladom Ensemble for a family-friendly concert that embraces neurodiversity and disability. With music representing a wide variety of musical traditions, this event has been specially designed to be accessible and inclusive for neurodivergent listeners, people with disabilities, and others who face social and systemic barriers to attending typical events. All ages and expressions are welcome! To eliminate financial barriers to attendance, Honens will refund your ticket when you arrive at the concert. You are also welcome to donate your ticket fee to Honens if you wish.

• 2 pm at Central Memorial Park, 1221 2 St SW:
Join for a free musical extravaganza in the beautiful Central Memorial Park. Enjoy an afternoon in the park with pianists Illia Ovcharenko and Jon Kimura Parker, violinist Donovan Seidle, and the Ladom Ensemble for a family-friendly program from blazingly virtuosic Rachmaninov to charming salon pieces by Elgar and Albeniz.
