“The ensemble and tonal control can be almost breathtaking”
-BBC Music Magazine
The Trio’s repertoire ranges from traditional to contemporary, and from European classicism to modern-day multimedia. It is committed to redefining chamber music for the 21st century. In 2013, Canada Council for the Arts presented Gryphon Trio with the prestigious Walter Carsen Prize for Excellence in the Performing Arts, which recognizes the highest level of artistic merit and distinguished career achievement by a Canadian professional artist in music, theatre, or dance.
