Gryphon Trio coming to Rotary Centre, Feb. 2
Chamber Music Kelowna is proud to present the Gryphon Trio for one performance only, Friday, Feb. 2 at 7:30 p.m. at the Rotary Centre for the Arts. Celebrating their 25th anniversary season, two- time Juno Award winning Gryphon Trio kicked off their western tour earlier this week with over 12 performances scheduled in British Columbia, Alberta, and Washington state.
The trio, violinist Annalee Patipatanakoon, cellist Roman Borys and pianist Jamie Parker continue to impress international audiences and press with performances that “bring out the kind of delicacy and sensuous beauty that’s often overlooked” (BBC Music Magazine). The concert program will include Canadian composer Dinuk Wijeratne's Love Triangle, a work commissioned by the Gryphon Trio, Haydn’s Piano Trio No. 45 in E-flat Major, Hob. XV:29, and the gorgeous Piano Trio No. 1 in B Major by Brahms.
Limited single tickets may be still available and can be purchased through the RCA box office at 250-717- 5304 or online at rotarycentreforthearts.com.

With more than 75 new commissioned works, 19 chamber music recordings, and a repertoire that ranges from traditional to contemporary and from European classicism to modernday multimedia, the Gryphons are committed to redefining chamber music for the 21st century.
The trio conduct masterclasses and workshops at universities and conservatories, and are Artists-inResidence at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Music and Trinity College.
