Thank you to the incredible Gryphon Trio for opening our eyes to such marvelous music and timeless pieces. Clear to see the impact Harry has made not only to the arts (here), but global as well. Patipatanakoon, Borys, and Parker played their hearts out tonight. Love (A and D)

The Gryphon Trio – It hardly gets better than this! Everything they play is sensational. Another superb Virtuosi event. This series is one of our favourites. The tributes to Harry were heart warming. And welcome to Jennifer. Thank you! PS I might recommend moving the blue choir chairs off the stage for an even more spectacular setting and a possibly better acoustic. (MH)

Wonderful music for the season and times. A little melancholy and hopeful evening. Concert and weekend extraordinary. So good to be alive for this! Artistry left me gasping. (MAO)

My favourite Beethoven trio! Loved the contrast of the Shostakovich with good intro that focused my listening. (CK)

Compositions 1 & 2: Beautiful, moving poignant. Tinged with a little sadness as we say Bye! and Thanks to Harry. Video to Harry - nicely done. #3: Hopeful, familiar – a warm blanket of a piece! #4: Great end to the day!

Lovely and astonishing performance! So wonderful to see such art displayed in such a magical way!

“Wonderful concert. Splendid variety of repertoire. A top-drawer evening for Harry Strub. (M.E.)”
