Play Me A Song
I am back to the murals in the Islington neighbourhood and the snow gives a hint that I took this pic in March but never got around to posting it. This is yet another mural painted by John Kuna and it is called "Prodigy" since it depicts a young Glenn Gould taking piano lessons at the Royal Conservatory of Music on Bloor St, and this building housed a satellite location of the Conservatory from the 1950s through the 80s. Gould, the most celebrated former student of the RCM, is pictured against a background showing the new concert hall (Koerner Hall) at the Conservatory.

WOW! This is fabulous! What a great artist.
very cool!!!
Superb! I remember Glenn Gould - in fact, I used to have at least one recording of his. What a pianist! This really is a wonderful mural.
GREAT mural!
wonderful and bright
I love that this mural has a real story behind it. Very nice.
Really beautiful!
I'm slightly jealous of all your marvellous murals! :-)
very nice mural :)
That's a beautiful mural!
Great history!
This mural is truly a piece of art. It's also nicely photographed.
Wow, that one is fantastic.
Another musical mural! What are the chances? How fascinating to see Glenn Gould as a boy. No wonder the conservatory has memorialized his time there. Kuna always delivers, doesn't he? Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
Fantastic, remarkably lifelike!
John Kuna is a fantastic artist, his murals are so realistic, nice find indeed Pat.
Impressive mural. It is a work of art!
A kiss.
A great find! I wonder if kids today know who Glenn Gould is?
