Info
On May 10, 2026 at Great Canadian Toronto in Toronto, the 15th Glenn Gould Prize Gala honours Elton John. The evening centers on his songbook — decades of piano-led pop, ballads and collaborations — with a lineup of guests reimagining his music live on stage.
Diana Krall brings her jazz phrasing to the repertoire, while Toronto band The Beaches lean into tight guitars and indie-rock hooks. Jeremy Dutcher weaves classical training and Wolastoqey roots into expansive vocals; LOONY adds a smooth R&B edge. Ron Sexsmith, known for concise melodies, revisits Elton’s writing with an intimate touch. Mezzo-soprano Emily D'Angelo offers an operatic angle on these tunes, and pianist Ryan Wang underlines the night’s focus on keys.
Together, these artists map the breadth of Elton John’s catalogue in a one-night celebration at Great Canadian Toronto, tracing the melodies and piano figures that have shaped his music and letting new arrangements highlight the range and durability of his songs.
