Gryphon Trio 2011 Juno Award Winner!

The Gryphon Trio’s 13th release on the Analekta label has won the 2011 Juno Award for the category “Classical Album of the Year: Solo or Chamber Ensemble”, announced at the 2011 Juno Gala Dinner & Awards held at the Allstream Centre in Toronto on March 26.  Featuring an all Beethoven program, including the much-loved Opus 70, No. 1 “Ghost” trio, the CD was released to great acclaim in October 2010.

The Gryphons have been nominated six previous times, and won their first Juno in 2004 for their CD “Canadian Premieres” featuring first recordings of music by Canadian composers.

Members of the Gryphon Trio each in their own right are award-winning musicians: Annalee Patipatanakoon, violin; Roman Borys, cello; and Jaime Parker, piano have impressed international audiences and the press with their highly refined, dynamic performances. The Gryphon Trio has firmly established itself as one of the world’s pre-eminent piano trios. With a repertoire that ranges from the traditional to the contemporary and from European classicism to modern-­day multimedia, the Gryphons are committed to redefining chamber music for the 21st Century.
