Music Toronto: Gryphon Trio with Lara St. John & Aviva Chernick
Gryphon Trio joins forces with violinist Lara St John and vocalist Aviva Chernick in a musical journey co-curated with Soundstreams Canada. Delving into the mystical world of the Hasidim, this program explores the art of the nigun—an improvised prayer, either vocal or instrumental. Highlighting the evening is a world premiere by acclaimed Canadian Jewish composer James Rolfe, drawing inspiration from the profound depths of the nigun. The program also features Avner Dorman's enchanting Nigunim, a composition for solo violin and ensemble that won The Azrieli Prize for Jewish Music, blending Israeli and American influences in a mesmerizing musical tapestry.
Co-presented with Soundstreams Canada with support from the Azrieli Foundation.
