“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.” – The Los Angeles Times

The endlessly inventive Gryphon Trio has captivated international audiences for over 30 years with dynamic, deeply expressive performances. Recognized among the world’s leading piano trios, the Gryphon bridges tradition and innovation with repertoire spanning European classicism to 21st-century multimedia, redefining chamber music for today.

Their discography of 22 acclaimed recordings on Analekta, Ondine, and Naxos includes works by Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Dvořák, Ravel, Shostakovich, and Piazzolla, as well as contemporary composers like Valentin Silvestrov, Christos Hatzis, and Kelly-Marie Murphy. Broken Hearts and Madmen, a genre-defying album with vocalist Patricia O’Callaghan, blends Leonard Cohen, Nick Drake, and traditional Latin songs. The Trio’s recordings have garnered numerous accolades, including three Junos.

An ensemble-in-residence at Music Toronto for more than 25 years, the Gryphon Trio performs extensively throughout North America and Europe. Their commitment to artistic innovation has produced over 100 commissioned works, numerous multimedia works and resulted in collaborations with a long list of musicians and artists from other fields.
