Gryphon Trio as Artistic Ambassadors

"We are honoured that the Gryphon Trio has been appointed Artistic Ambassadors for the 2012 Canadian Music Competition. As a former CMC Stepping Stone laureate, I know how important this organisation is to emerging classical musicians across the country and am proud that we can serve as champions of its continued success and hard work." — Annalee Patipatanakoon, violinist of the Gryphon Trio

The Gryphon Trio have been appointed Artistic Ambassador of the 2012 Canadian Music Competition (CMC). The CMC is a national organization that encourages Canadian performers aged 7 - 30 of all classical musical genres to compete in a supportive and collegial environment throughout all stages. This 54th season kicks off on March 30 with their 17 chapters across Canada advancing to the National Finals, this year held in Toronto. (www.cmcnational.com)

"CMC is excited that the Gryphon Trio will be the Artistic Ambassador for 2012, especially as Annalee is a former CMC - Stepping Stone winner. As well as being outstanding Canadian performers, the trio members are dedicated teachers. It is a great opportunity for the CMC to have musicians of this stature represent and promote the organization." - Julie Lebel, CMC Executive Director
