GRYPHON TRIO

“The ensemble and tonal control can be almost breathtaking.” – BBC Music Magazine

Three-time winners of the Classical Record of the Year at the Juno Awards (Canada’s Grammys), the beloved Gryphon Trio returns to the Moseley Series. Among the world’s foremost piano trios and among Canada’s finest musicians, the Gryphon Trio are Artists-in-Residence at the University of Toronto and Directors of Summer Programs at the Banff Centre. Makers of 22 record albums over the 31 years of their existence, the Gryphon Trio brings equal passion to the projects of preserving and expanding chamber music’s repertoire and its audiences. 

VOCES8

“Impeccable in its quality of tone and balance. They bring a new dimension to the word 'ensemble’ with meticulous timing and tuning.” – Gramophone

The amazing British vocal ensemble Voces8 has built a large and passionate worldwide following since their founding 19 years ago, touring worldwide annually and releasing many rapturously-received recordings via Decca Records. The Carlos Moseley Series is beyond excited to welcome them back for a seasonal concert, so Spartanburg audiences can hear the program they performed in London’s Wigmore Hall last December, “in which time briefly stood still in a moment of genuine transcendence.” (The Guardian UK)

“…jaw-dropping awesome!” – San Francisco Examiner

The ‘20-finger orchestra’ that is ZOFO is a piano duo unlike any you’ve seen before. “Four hands on one piano, overlapping, dancing attendance and completing one another’s phrases – presents such a close understanding that… the intimacy becomes a shared experience,” according to The West Australian. Inspired by everything from the Balinese gamelan to contemporary and classic art, their programs surge with athletic precision, terpsichorean elegance, and delight in the power and joy of music.

IMANI WINDS

“Each member… is a virtuoso. But with their dazzling ensemble playing and easy engagement with the audience, the whole is vastly more than the sum of its parts.”— The Washington Post

Winners of the 2024 GRAMMY award for their newest album, “Passion for Bach and Coltrane,” the Imani Winds have established themselves over the last quarter-century as the world’s most ambitious and artistically successful woodwind quintet. Masters of the standard quintet repertoire, the Imanis have also made and recorded jaw-dropping arrangements (their recording of the entire “Rite of Spring” arranged for wind quintet is particularly astonishing) and premiered dozens of dazzling new works by an exciting and diverse array of composers. 

DANISH STRING QUARTET

“The string quartet’s best hope.” – The Wall Street Journal

The Danish String Quartet got its start as pre-teens at a summer music camp in rural Denmark, “hanging out and playing football and chamber music.” Not thirty years later they stand at the pinnacle of the chamber music world, “ensemble music at its purest,” according to the New York Times, which also says, “…some of the most essential listening of the past decade. No recording could quite capture what makes the Danish so special in concert, could make indelible the fleeting aura of rapt, intense concentration that settles in a hall when they are at their best.”
