For The End of Time with the Gryphon Trio (feat. James Campbell, Daniel Vnukowski)
For The End of Time with the Gryphon Trio
The Three-Time Juno Award Winning Gryphon Trio has firmly established itself as one of the world’s preeminent piano trios. Together with James Campbell on the clarinet, they bring Olivier Messiaen’s seminal, mysterious work “Quartet for the End of Time” to Collingwood, which premièred at the Nazi prison camp Stalag VIIIA in 1941 and explore Messiaen’s relationship with the divine. The concert opens with a special appearance of our AD, Daniel Vnukowski together with James Campbell.


Musicmaking at its most communicative.
