A true musical genius, Glenn Gould is Canada's most celebrated and controversial classical pianist. He was a child prodigy who became a concert star and a pioneer in the recording and media arts. An unparalleled assortment of objects, including his beloved piano and a collection of sound recordings bring his legacy back to life. Come see why Glenn Gould - one of the last century's greatest musicians - still inspires, delights and fascinates the world today.

The Exhibit will feature sound recordings, taped interviews and videos, as well as an impressive array of artifacts, including Gould's beloved Steinway piano and the specially modified folding chair on which he sat while playing.

The exhibition also brings together, for the first time, a large collection of Gould's letters, manuscripts, publicity posters and personal items. Throughout the exhibition, Gould speaks to us through his writings, media productions and music.
