Music Toronto presents Gryphon Trio

Classical

In its early years as a Music Toronto ensemble-in-residence, the Gryphon Trio first performed Olivier Messiaen's visionary Quartet for the End of Time with revered Canadian clarinetist James Campbell. Composed in a prisoner-of-war camp during the Second World War, the work stands as one of the 20th century's most profound musical testaments of faith, transcendence, and human resilience. Twenty-five years and countless performances later, the Gryphon Trio and Campbell return to this monumental masterpiece that has become a defining thread in their artistic story. The program opens with the stormy passion of Johannes Brahms' dramatic Piano Trio in C minor and also features the world premiere of a new work for piano trio by Graham Campbell.
