The Williams College Department of Music presents the Gryphon Trio on Tuesday, April 7 at 8 p.m. in Brooks-Rogers Recital Hall on the Williams College campus. This free event is open to the public.
The Gryphon Trio is composed of Annalee Patipatanakoon, violin; Roman Borys, cello; and James Parker, piano and is strongly dedicated to pushing the boundaries of chamber music. In this performance, part of Williams’ Visiting Artist series, the Gryphon Trio performs Haydn’s Trio in E Major, Shostakovich’s Trio No. 2 in E Minor, op. 67, and Schubert’s Trio No. 1 in B-flat Major for piano, violin, and cello.
The Gryphon Trio has firmly established itself as one of the world’s preeminent trios, with a repertoire that ranges from the traditional to the contemporary and from European classicism to modern-day multimedia. The Gryphon Trio has commissioned and premiered over 50 new works from established and emerging composers around the world, and has collaborated on special projects with clarinetist James Campbell, actor Colin Fox, choreographer David Earle, and a host of jazz luminaries at Lula Lounge, Toronto’s leading venue for jazz and world music.
