The Gryphon Baryton Trio
About
This concert is a rare chance to hear some of the fascinating chamber works by Joseph Haydn for baryton live, performed with their original instrumentation. The commission of a new baryton in 2023 - the only one in Australia - enables the Gryphon Baryton Trio to share this very special music with Australian audiences.The Gryphon Baryton Trio draws on the combined chamber music and historical performance practice experience of Laura Vaughan (baryton), Katie Yap (Classical viola) and Josephine Vains (Classical cello). The little-known baryton is a Classical instrument similar in size to a cello, with 6 gut bowed strings plus a course of 10 metal strings which resonate sympathetically and are also plucked like a harp. This magnificent instrument reached its zenith at the court of Prince Nikolaus Esterhazy in Vienna during the time of composer Joseph Haydn.
