Introduction
Welcome to the Governor General’s Performing Arts Awards Legacy Interviews. The inaugural interviews took place at Rideau Hall on May 9, 2014.
The 2019 laureates were interviewed by GGPAA Foundation board members Anik Bissonnette and Denise Donlon.
Our laureates spoke about what the award means to them and they discussed what advice they had received about life in the performing arts. They also offer advice to those wishing to be involved in the arts as performers or supporters.
The 2019 interviews took place on April 27 at the Westin Ottawa and included the 2019 laureates and a number of past recipients who were in town for the Gala. Camera and editing were provided by Mick Gzowski and sound by Jerry Turchyn.
So sit back and enjoy insights, advice and even a few laughs.
