The Gould Standard
The Glenn Gould Foundation honours Glenn Gould’s spirit and legacy by promoting creativity and helping to transform lives through the power of music and the arts. We reflect the universal power of the arts to bring diverse people together in a spirit of harmony, compassion, and mutual understanding.
Established in 1983 in Gould’s home town of Toronto, the foundation is a registered Canadian charitable organization. We extend awareness of Glenn Gould as an extraordinary musician, writer, communicator, and thinker, and we expand his ongoing influence through our various projects and programs.
Our signature activity, The Glenn Gould Prize, is one of the world’s premier honours celebrating the arts. The prize advances the social goods and positive impacts exemplified by the work of our laureates. Each prize laureate selects the winner of The Glenn Gould Protégé Prize, a young artist worthy of a wider audience.
