Re: [F_MINOR] I am to visit Montreal
Greetings and welcome to Montreal,
You may want to try calling the CBC Audience Relations at 1-866-306-INFO to
see if they have anything here about GG. (I called before writing this and
spent about 10 minutes on hold before being disconnected.) As far as I know
there is very little. Next closest possibility would be Ottawa, about two
hours drive from Montreal, at the National Library. I was there a few
weeks ago curious to see anything about GG, and the "only" things on
display were his chair ( I must have been considered a freak by Security,
having spent about 20 minutes just looking at it from all angles) and an
annotaded partition of a Goldberg Variation.
But like you say, Toronto looks good with lots of things GG:

Of course there are the record stores (HMV on Ste-Catherine, Archambault
downtown, I think on Berri street) and book stores (Chapters, Renaud Bray)
where you may find books and CDs.
I did try to locate concerts in Montreal during your stay here, some Bach
and Beethoven:

The bigger orchestras, l'Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal and l'Orchestre
Métropolitain do not show any program during your stay. Other venues I
looked at, Maison des Arts de Ste-Adele (Yamaha piano), Théatre du
Vieux-Terrebonne, Maison Tresstler (Fazioli piano) unfortunately do not
show anything.
If you play piano perhaps we can get together and I'll try to sneak you in
to some practice room at the University where I'm taking music courses on
Tuesday nights.
Enjoy your stay.
