Tuesday 5 August - Gryphon Baryton Trio

This concert is a rare chance to hear some of the fascinating chamber works for baryton live, performed with their intended instrumentation. The magnificent baryton, an instrument similar to a bass viol but with an extra course of metal sympathetic strings, was an extraordinary 18th Century instrument with a rich repertoire of music by Joseph Haydn - the so-called 'Baryton Trios'.

These delightful works are full of invention, wit and colour, with the unique combination of baryton, viola and cello creating unique and beautiful sonority. This programme includes Baryton Trios by Haydn plus the premiere of a delightfully humorous new work by Australian composer Brooke Green.

Laura Vaughan (baryton) joins Katie Yap (viola) and Josephine Vains (cello) for a Lunchbox full of invention and colour, with a veritable feast of low instruments creating unique and beautiful sonority.
