The endlessly inventive Gryphon Trio has impressed international audiences and the press for the past 25 years with its highly refined, dynamic performances, and has firmly established itself as one of the world’s preeminent piano trios.

The ensemble-in-residence at Music Toronto for more than a decade, the Gryphon Trio tours each season extensively throughout North America and Europe. The Gryphon Trio is also dedicated to pushing the boundaries of chamber music and has commissioned and premiered more than 80 new works from established and emerging composers across the globe.

The Gryphon Trio’s celebrated recordings are an encyclopedia of works by Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Dvorak, Lalo, Shostakovich and Piazzolla, and their groundbreaking 2004 release Canadian Premieres, featuring new works by leading Canadian composers, was acknowledged with a coveted Juno Award from the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.

With a repertoire that ranges from the traditional to the contemporary and from European classicism to modern-day multimedia, the Gryphon Trio is committed to redefining chamber music for the 21st century.

This is a piano trio that plays with strength and unanimity—big, bold, almost orchestral performances. The Gryphon brings bravura spirit to the piano trio.
