Wrapped up an amazing time in Calgary to conclude my time as the current Honens Prize Laureate. More updates soon—now just want to say a huge thank you to everyone that’s made these past four years as Prize Laureate a reality. @honens truly changed my life, and I'm so grateful.

"The only one to play the Mozart concerto by memory, Ovcharenko proved to be a remarkably stylish Mozartian. It is also helpful to simply hit the ball out of the park. The audience was simply overwhelmed." -- @calgaryherald
