Since the first World Congress of Conductive Education in 1990, the names of those who have been made honorary conductors are announced and presented with an award during the Congress. This will happen at the 8th World Congress that is taking place in Munich, 9-12 October and the recipients have now been announced..
The criteria for this award are:
The College Senate of the András Pető Institute of Conductive Education gives the Honorary Conductor Award. It was established in 1990 to recognise the work of non-conductors in the field, which is well known both in the homeland and internationally. Nominations are initiated by leading persons and are submitted to the International Pető Association (IPA) Executive Committee. Final nomination is submitted to the Senate of the András Pető Institute which is authorized to make a final decision about acceptance.
I was lucky enough to be made one in 2010 and went to Hong Kong to receive my award. It was a huge surprise and wonderful to be selected.
The recipients for 2013 have been announced and there are only two people this time.
Beate Höß-Zenker (Germany) and Norman Perrin (UK).
Very well deserved, congratulations to them both!
