Glenn Gould – (1932-1982) was a world renowned artist with a special connection to Ramara.  Although no longer visible today, Gould’s parents had a summer home in the Uptergrove area which became a place of relaxation and inspiration for him.

Considered eccentric, yet admired for his extraordinary talent, Gould was a brilliant pianist who left an everlasting mark on the world of music.
