The Gryphon Trio will perform Beethoven’s six most celebrated piano trios in a live performance streamed from the beautiful Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario on December 10 and 11. The interactive livestream event will be hosted by broadcaster Eric Friesen (CBC and NPR) and will include commentary from composer, conductor, and author Rob Kapilow (“What Makes It Great?”). The event will be presented by a consortium of classical music presenters and brings together chamber music organizations and audiences from all corners of North America, in celebration of the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birthday.
This Beethoven@250 event is produced by the Gryphon Trio and OurConcerts.live in partnership with the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts, with support from Sandra and Jim Pitblado.
Both concert events will be approximately two hours in duration and will include a 20-minute intermission, during which host Eric Friesen and music commentator Rob Kapilow will discuss aspects of Beethoven’s life and work, as well as a post-concert Q&A session with the trio. As a bonus, all ticket buyers will be sent an invitation to participate in a Zoom party hosted by the Gryphon Trio on December 17th at 7pm Eastern / 4pm Pacific.
The Gryphon Trio is firmly established as one of the world’s preeminent piano trios. The Gryphons, Annalee Patipatanakoon, violin; Roman Borys, cello, and Jamie Parker, piano, are Ensemble in Residence at the University of Toronto, and Directors of Classical Music Summer Programming at Banff Centre, where they first met.
Now in their 27th season, the Trio has earned acclaim for and impressed international audiences with their highly refined, dynamic, and memorable performances. The Trio’s repertoire ranges from traditional to contemporary, and from European classicism to modern-day multimedia and reflects their commitment to redefining chamber music for the 21st century.
“Doors Open” when the stream goes live 15 minutes before showtime.
The livestream will take place at 7:30pm Eastern / 4:30pm Pacific.
