Leonard Cohen Awarded the Ninth Glenn Gould Prize

[Mordy]

What a wonderful video - thanks so much for posting, Arlene. As an admirer of both Stephen Fry and Leonard Cohen - a real treat. Look forward to seeing more video of the actual event.

Arlene,

Thank you so much for posting the link to the video - inspirational. It illustrates once again the transformative power of music to change lives.
In song.

approximately 75 selected solo artists/small musical ensembles and readers will play Leonard Cohen songs and recite his poetry/novel excerpts at designated spaces throughout the Toronto downtown core on Friday May 11 and Saturday May 12. This performance opportunity is an exciting chance to participate in a weekend of free event programming before Leonard Cohen’s arrival to receive the Glenn Gould Prize on May 14 at Massey Hall and for participants gain exposure to new audiences on the street and in the media.

Thanks Anne. I notice that street performers are limited to Friday and Saturday...the weekend?.
This reminds me of the recent past in my hometown Toronto, when nothing was allowed to happen on Sundays, no movies, no sports, stores closed. Back then, the churches held too much sway.

Too bad Sunday is omitted. More residents, visitors and tourists will be further deprived of gaining exposure to LC's genius.

The Sunday is Mother's Day ... so maybe there was a worry that if the performers were out doing Leonard on the street all the Mothers would be missing from their homes.

Thank you Anne for showing us the link - I think this is going to be a lot of fun!!!!

[LisaLCFan]

I hope the Massey Hall event is televised, I would love to see it!

[Marlene J.]

I really hope so too, I'm dying to see it! If nothing else, I'm sure there will show up a few fancam videos of the event on YouTube or something similar. (I hope!)
