The Gryphon Trio was founded in 1993, and has toured Canada and Europe, appearing at many festivals. Over the years, the group and has become known for its integrity in interpreting the classics of piano trio literature.
The members of the trio—Annalee Patipatanakoon, violin; Jamie Parker, piano; and Roman Borys, cello—are also committed to performing and commissioning new works by contemporary international composers.
The Los Angeles Times has written that the Gryphon Trio “accumulated deeply felt energies and released them with expressive finality” and “blew all the dust off its genre stereotype with big, bold, almost orchestral performances.”
