Born in 1886, Alberto Guerrero was a key figure in classical music in Chile as a composer, concert pianist and orchestra conductor. In the early 1920s this refined musical luminary was offered a position at Toronto's Royal Conservatory of Music, a backwater in the classical musical world. Guerrero became the teacher of an entire generation of notable Canadian composers and pianists including Stuart Hamilton, Arthur Ozolins, William Aide and John Beckwith. Perhaps his greatest legacy was as the principal teacher of Glenn Gould. In French: Le professeur de musique
