The Order of Canada has been bestowed on the violinist Lara St.John, who may now place the letters CM after her name.

Lara’s courageous openness about the sexual abuse she experienced at the Curtis Institute led to an extensive investigation, an apology and a promise of reforms.

 

Also honoured with the CH is the pianist Christina Petrowska Quilicoand the late pianist Marietta Orlov.
