English term or phrase: Glenn Gould
I did my speech, and I practiced in front of a mirror: bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla. Hey I’m sounding good. And then I went in front of my kids, and my wife. I said, oh gosh, I got a little nervous.

Then I’d get in front of Glenn Gould, Oh my goodness, I am a little more nervous!

By the time I get to the ACG, where 2,500 people, can’t say anymore, right? Twenty-five hundred people, where twenty-five hundred people are there, I won’t have a single ounce of nervousness because of my ability to practice. Right?

Does he mean the famous pianist, or is he referring to an institute named after Glenn Gould?
Thanks!

Selected answer:Glenn Gould Studio
Explanation:
This was one of the talks at a Ryerson University TED event in November 2011 on the theme "Think Forward". The map in the link given below suggests that the event was recorded at the Canadian Broadcasting Centre's Glenn Gould Studio.

By getting 'in front of Glenn Gould', the speaker means 'delivering the talk to the audience at the Glenn Gould Studio'.

Explanation:
I think he refers to the Pianist; otherwise he ought to have said before the Gl.Gould foundation. But who knows In any case it is bewildering that he should deliver a speech to a Pianist, rather than demonstrating his musical skills on the said Instrument.
