The Gryphon Trio is one of Canada's premier chamber groups, and recent triumphs at New York's Mostly Mozart Festival, Los Angeles' Da Camera Series and Finland's prestigious Kuhmo Festival are bringing international acclaim and consistent re-engagements.

This season, the Trio tours central and east coast  Canada, Europe and the States.  Collaborations include touring with author David Adams Richards, performances with violist Scott St. John, and a new work for trio and narrator by composer Omar Daniel and author Michael Redhill. Christos Hatzis' Gryphon Trio-produced CONSTANTINOPLE continues to evolve towards international performances in 2002-2003.

The Trio will release the Mendelssohn c minor and Lalo a minor piano trios, and a collection of  commissioned works, on the Analekta label -- the Trio’s first recordings featuring violinist Annalee Patipatanakoon’s ca. 1717 Windsor - Weinstein Stradivarius, and cellist Roman Borys’s 1824 McConnell Gagliano  (both on loan from The Canada Council’s Musical Instrument Bank).

Ensemble-in-residence at Music Toronto and the U of T Faculty of Music, the Trio performs at the Jane Mallett Theatre Oct 23, Feb 12; and Glenn Gould Studio May 7.
