History

The Glenn Gould Memorial Foundation, as it was called in the first couple of years, was established in September 1983 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, to honor Glenn Gould and extend his legacy in many creative directions. The foundation's initial focus was on the explosion of worldwide interest in Gould's life, work and ideas.

The foundation's earliest project was the creation of The Glenn Gould Prize, which was administered by the Canada Council for the Arts until 2000.

In 1985, the foundation created the international Friends of Glenn Gould society and its two related publications, GlennGould, a semi-annual magazine, and The Gould Standard, a quarterly newsletter. GlennGould published 13 volumes and ceased publication in Fall 2008.

The first symposium was held in Montreal in 1987.

In 1992, the foundation produced its first major international conference titled Music & Communication in the 21st Century: Variations on Themes of Glenn Gould, to mark the sixtieth birthday of Gould and the tenth anniversary of his death. Delegates and specialists from several countries met to carry forward Gould's ideas and investigations into the nature of music and its transmission. The five-day program covered themes that included Music as a Language of the 21st Century; Music and Creativity; The Technology of Future Musical Communication; and Music as an Instrument of Change in the 21st Century.

Papers and records of the foundation, from its inception up to 1994 are held in the Library and Archives Canada, under the archival number MUS 236.[1]

The Glenn Gould Gathering, held September 22–26, 1999 in Toronto, was a conference of delegates from 19 countries, and included a gala dinner celebrating Gould's birthday; the presentation of the sixth Glenn Gould Prize to Yo-Yo Ma and the Glenn Gould Protégé Prize to Wu Man; and a nationally telecast unveiling of Gould's sculpture created by Ruth Abernethy.

The Year of Glenn Gould ran from September 25, 2007, to September 24, 2008, and marked the 75th birthday of Glenn Gould, the 25th anniversary of his death, and ended with the 25th anniversary of the foundation. It was celebrated worldwide with events throughout the year.
