Iris Hond
Born in 1987, Iris began playing the piano at the age of three years old. From the very first notes she played it was crystal clear she had an extraordinary pianistic talent. Dedicated to become a concertpianist, Iris got accepted at the most prestigious music academy in the country at age 14.
In this time Iris experienced an unsettling situation which resulted in Iris becoming homeless at 14 years old.
During these tough times Iris formed special relationships with the less privileged, the terminally ill, and even those in prisons. Remembering how these “special” people helped her, in return Iris gave free concerts to those in hospitals , prisons, and homeless shelters throughout the city. She continues to do this today.
Iris graduated summa cum laude from the Royal Conservatory, graduating top of her class. Handpicked to open for Diana Ross Iris continues to build an extensive concert career selling out shows worldwide.
