The GGF was incorporated less than a year after the sudden, tragic death of Glenn Gould at the age of 50. The news of his passing - very much in the prime of his professional live - was met with shock, sadness, and profound love and appreciation from admirers, friends, and cultural leaders the world over.
The GGF has celebrated the spirit and legacy of Glenn Gould with international and domestic concerts, festivals, academic works, and innumerable collaborations. We have commissioned original artworks, aided scholars, published the Glenn Gould Magazine, promoted young musicians, presented art exhibitions and symposia, contributed to school curriculum materials, and created our own acclaimed podcast, The Gould Standard … among many other events and activities.
We are especially proud today of our 14 Glenn Gould Prize laureates - and the stellar and distinguished juries who chose them. The Glenn Gould Prize is indeed one of the world’s premier honours recognizing artistic achievement, innovation, and humanitarianism.
Look at these laureates!

We’re feeling very pleased about what we’ve accomplished so far, and we’re looking forward to the next 40 years!
Help us make the next 40 years even better!
