Boise Chamber Music Series announces 2009-10 season
The Boise Chamber Music Series 2009-10 season of four top-notch ensembles begins Oct. 9 with the Gryphon Trio, a Toronto-based piano trio, which has performed in venues from Canada to Covent Garden. According to “The Washington Post”:
Around Toronto, the Gryphon Trio musicians are considered maverick workaholics. Pianist Jamie Parker, cellist Roman Borys and violinist Annalee Patipatanakoon all teach at the university, play at jazz joints and tour their country tirelessly, sometimes with sopranos and lighting designers in tow. Last fall, the trio took on programming the Ottawa International Chamber Music Festival, arguably the largest chamber festival in the world.
So why is it that in the United States, the Gryphons are known as three polite Canadians who play Mozart well?
The BCMS season continues Nov. 6 with the Borealis Quartet, performing on a set of 18th-century instruments loaned by the prestigious CHIMEI Culture Foundation. This youthful quartet of all original players was founded in Vancouver, BC, in 2000. On Feb. 5, the New York Woodwind Quintet, now in its 60th season, will feature five internationally-recognized wind performers of both individual and collective fame: Carol Wincenc, Stephen Taylor, Charles Neidich, Marc Goldberg, and William Purvis. The season closes April 16 with the Enso String Quartet, recent winners at Banff, Concert Artists Guild International Competition, and Fischoff. The Yale-trained players will bring their experience to their additional task of adjudicating the fifth-annual Boise Chamber Music Society Young Artist String Quartet Competitions, the following day, April 17.
Season tickets to all four concerts are available at $100; inquiries should be directed to Jeanne Belfy, 426 1216; or
