Our much beloved Gryphon Trio teams up with the stellar Norwegian a capella vocal ensemble Nordic Voices for a unique evening of musical exploration, featuring new works by living composers from Canada and abroad. Audiences may recall the sounds of Nordic Voices from the film portions of the March 2023 performance on this stage of Echoes: Memories of the World, but this time we get the full experience of the group.
Do not miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance to hear four superb new creations commissioned by the Gryphon Trio. These works are by some of today’s most emotionally direct and powerfully engaging composers, including Andrew Balfour (Cree), Norbert Palej (Polish/Canadian), Bohdana Frolyak (Ukrainian), and Vancouver-based Jeffrey Ryan whose new commission sets a text by Toronto poet Michael Redhill.
