Gryphon Trio with Nordic Voices

Prepare for an evening of sonic discovery as Canada’s Gryphon Trio—three-time Juno Award winners—collaborates with the phenomenal Norwegian vocal sextet Nordic Voices. From the heart-wrenching lyricism of Dvořák’s Dumky Trio to breathtaking a cappella works rooted in global folk traditions, this program spotlights bold new music by Andrew Balfour (Cree), Norbert Palej, and Bohdana Frolyak. It’s an extraordinary cross-cultural encounter filled with passion, precision, and artistry.

Gryphon Trio

Celebrating over 30 years of artistry and innovation, Gryphon Trio has firmly cemented its place as one of the world’s foremost piano trios, captivating audiences globally with their vibrant, boundary-pushing performances. Comprising violinist Annalee Patipatanakoon, cellist Roman Borys, and pianist Jamie Parker, Gryphon Trio is celebrated for its dynamic programming, from cherished classical repertoire to avant-garde, multimedia collaborations that redefine chamber music for the 21st century.

Nordic Voices

Formed in 1996, Nordic Voices comprises six graduates from the Norwegian Academy of Music and the Norwegian Academy of Opera, who, in addition to their singing backgrounds, have a broad range of experience from choral conducting to teacher training and composition. It is perhaps this range of interests that leads them to explore a wider than usual spectrum of musical expression, from plainchant to new works commissioned from leading Norwegian composers; from the most sacred of religious texts to the strongly secular.
