Welcome to Gustin House

Gustin House is a special and important part of Saskatoon’s cultural history. The house was used for many years as the focus of studies in piano, pedagogy– and the wider world of the arts. Now, Gustin House continues to bring together an inspiring community of artists and arts lovers.

After intensive music studies, the youthful, charismatic Lyell Gustin established his Piano Studios in 1920 at a brand new residence, 512 Tenth Street, Saskatoon. During the next 70 years, hundreds of students took lessons at this gracious though modest house, and went forward profoundly enriched by music, many into professional musical careers, and others to educational, cultural, civic and community roles. Dr. Gustin presented concerts, actively promoted the arts, and led in the musical profession across Saskatchewan and Canada. Today, classical recitals and programs honour this grand legacy.

Lyell Gustin Recital Series brings national and international artists to our Saskatoon stage. In a series launched in 2005, superb soloists and amazing ensembles take you into an irreplaceable experience, the world of live classical music, a world of riches and meaning.
