Lorne Tulk and Host Michael Vincent pose with one of four newly found Glenn Gould chairs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Glenn Gould<\/strong> performed for over 21 years using a small, portable folding chair that has become an object of reverence for Gould devotees.\u00a0He was obsessed with it, and wouldn’t perform on anything\u00a0else.<\/p>\n

The stuffing has long since disappeared, and the only thing that kept it from falling apart is some duct tape, screws, and piano wire. Despite its condition, it’s memory survives.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In this podcast<\/a><\/strong>, we take you on a journey into the relationship between pianist Glenn Gould and his “pygmy” chair.<\/p>\n

A mystery unfolds, launching listeners down a path towards uncovering a secret behind one of history\u2019s most fascinating pianists.<\/p>\n
