April 11, 2012

I received an email from the Glenn Gould Foundation which includes photos of the performers (see below).

One name of note in this email announcement is the special thank you to Musical Director, Neil Larsen.

That is our very own Neil Larsen who was in the band supporting Leonard Cohen on his world tour 2008-2010 and is returning for the Leonard Cohen Old Ideas World Tour 2012.

From the GGF email (in part)
Awards Ceremony and Concert at Massey Hall
At one of Toronto's finest historic venues, Leonard Cohen will receive his Glenn Gould Prize and announce the City of Toronto Glenn Gould Protégé Prize winner.  A stellar line-up of musical stars and honourary speakers will take to the stage to salute Leonard Cohen's lifetime achievements in music and poetry.
