He was also awarded the music prize at the Eighth International Puppet Theatre Festival for "The Sun Opera". His recent symphonic movement "Sinfonietta" was selected to be performed and recorded by Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra in Buffalo, New York in March 2008.

In addition to composing for film, TV and writing concert music, Honarmand has also been active as a teacher and translator. His Persian translation of the book "A Classical Approach to Jazz Piano" by Dominic Alldis was recently published. He has also worked as a teaching assistant in music theory at the University of Toronto and was awarded the Theodoros Mirkopoulos fellowship in composition in two successive years, as well as the Lothar Klein memorial fellowship in 2008.
