Sarah McLachlan, Diana Krall & More to Perform as Elton John Receives Glenn Gould Prize

"I am awestruck and honoured to receive this award," he said in a statement.

UPDATE (April 9): Sarah McLachlan and the National Ballet’s Noah Parets have been added to the roster of Canadian performers taking the stage at The Glenn Gould Prize Gala Honouring Elton John. The event will be hosted by Will & Grace star Eric McCormack (who is also Canadian) on May 9 at The Theatre at Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto. The award was first announced in March 2025 and was originally going to be presented in Toronto last fall.

The event, with John in attendance, will feature live performances of John’s songs by a hand-selected group of Canadian artists. Previously announced performers include Diana Krall, The Beaches, Ron Sexsmith, Jeremy Dutcher, LOONY and Ryan Wang.
